If they are directional they would have small arrows pointing the direction of rotation

I had a set of M/T that size about 4 yrs. ago.... there was a molding number on only one side of side wall. I was told to put the molding number towards the outside of car on both sides. Compare both sides of each tire and see if you can find it! John Irving

I don't know if this will be of any help to you but I ran M/T tires on all my FWD cars and they were not unidirectional. In fact I found changing them from left to fight every 15 to 20 passes extended the life of the tires. Jim
