Default Which way does the tread go on Yoko Parada's?

I purchased 4 yokohama parada spec 2 tires and I got them mounted, now I'm just curious as to which way I should have the tread face.



Now would those go on the right or left side of the car? If i were to flip them around, the tread would face the other way. I know the line is supposed to be on the outside of the rim, but which way should the tread face, thanks.

If they're directional, there should be "outside" stamped on them and a direction of rotation to let you know which way the tires should face.

I know the line should go on the outside, but there are no arrows saying what direction they should go. Its tough to explain i guess, but what i'm saying, is that from the picture above, the tires would go on the right side of the car. But if i were to flip the tires around nad have the line on the left side, they would go on the left side of the car. Now when i flip them around, the tread faces the other way.

there should be an arrow on the sidewall indicating direction of rotation, but i think the line should be on the left

I hope they didn't send you 4 tires that all go on the same side.

Now which one of those is right? As you can see, the tread faces different directions depending what side of the car it is put on.

For the Parada's it just says outside or inside. That's all you need to know. What's the confusion?
