Sorry guys, I looked at them for a while and had a couple other people look at them as well. There were no markings on them, other than outside or inside.

ManInCamo-obviously they are mirror images, i posted them so hopefully someone could tell me which one of those is correct. If you know, please let me know.

They're not like other tires where it'll have an arrow telling you which direction is the rotation. It just needs to have the groove to channel out water on the outside.

Not too often do you see writing on the inside and outside of the tire. Perhaps a close-up pic would be better.

obviously if you have a picture of the tires mounted, that is most likely going to be the correct way

They are just like the Azenis. The outside should be facing outside. It's asymetrical tire meaning it can rotate both directions. Just like the Azenis. Except the groove on the Azenis is on the inside unlike the Paradas.

if you have them mounted, you should have 2 going one way, and 2 going another. and then you would put them on with the line on the outside. doesn't really seem that complicated to me....

They are only side specific. So the outside should face out.

I know people who flipped their Azenis the opposite way and didn't find any negative handling characteristics, but I wouldn't want ot try it

the treadwear is what will suffer, but when you only get 20K out of the tires, then that's not long enough to hurt much....the s02 pole positions make a ton of noise when ran backward and suck on wet roads
