Pirelli Winter 240 Sottozero Serie II Question

Ok so after 1400 miles of driving had wheels with the Pirelli's mounted removed to switch to another set and the genius that did it forgot to mark the tires LF, RF...etc. Are these tires directional? Will it matter after so few miles if the left and right get reversed? Only 25% chance of getting it completely right by guessing. Did not see any arrow on sidewall to indicate direction. Thanks in advance.

For what its worth, every picture of the tire that I have seen online show the "angled" pattern to be on the inside.... hope this helps.

you need not be concerned whether the tires are asymetrical (different pattern across the tire) or symetrical (identical pattern across the tire)...both of these types of tires can be moved from side to side with no problem unless the tire is directional or what is sometimes called unidirectional...in that case the tire will have an arrow on the outside indicating the direction of rotation...unidirectional tires cannot be moved from side to side...if your tires are not directional it is not a bad idea to move them from side to side to get more even wear, especially if you track because most tracks have more corners of one type than another...as long as you don't have some weird wear like cupping on the Pirellis it shouldn't matter what side you put them on
