Stock Evo X tires (Yokohama Advan A13) are definitely NOT directional. They only have an "outside" marking. This is nice because you can do a true rotation of tires instead of only being able to rotate front to back. The Evo 8/9 had directional advans.

They are NOT directional. They are labeled "outside" on the sidewall

I've updated the sticky post to show that they aren't directional.

They're asymmetric, meaning they can only be mounted on a wheel a certain way for maximum performance.
