Was Tire choice for teardrops Now Falken Azenis Q

[vwtype53 at yahoo.com (Benjamin Harder)]

Actually, the Falken's are not directional...
I just mounted a set last week.  They have "Outside" marked
on the tires, but not a directional arrow...
The tread pattern is assymetrical, but not directional.
(haven't seen a tire like this before)
