Flaken 615 tread direction?

Is there a proper way to mount these tires? The only markings on them are inside and outside. There is no direction noted or right/left. The thing is that the tread direction is different when mounted on the drivers vs the passengers side. Does this matter?

Thanks,
DcSleeper

No it doesnt matter, they are all like that. Just make sure you mount them according to the markings, e.g."outside"

that's cool so you can flip them when the inside edge gets a bit worn

Thanks for the replys guys....I just wanted to make sure....the tread looks odd on the passenger side....almost like it would be funneling the water into the middle of the tire.

No, you cannot flip them, you must keep the "outside" marking on the outside. simple as that.
