Default Nitto Neogen mounting questions

I recently purchased four Nitto neogen tires. The tires have the word "OUTSIDE" labeled on the side walls but without any directional arrows. So my questions are: there is no "left side" or "right side" tire? and as long as the "outside" sides are facing outside, I should be fine?

Thanks

Look at their ads or website and it should give you an idea. Power of searching on google

Thanks, Rick... found out that neogen is non-direectional....

BTW, there is a Z with greddy sides and rear but no front lip on the nitto site.. it looks surprisingly good without the front lip....

Same as the Michelin PS2s - only marked "outside" so they can rotate either direction.

Correct. I had them on my Prelude. Good tires for the price.

I would have rathered that they be directional so that when the inside or outside edge started wearing out, I could swap the tires side-to-side and allow the other edge to get worn. That allows you to almost double the life.
