Does anyone know if VREDESTEIN ULTRAC SESSANTA are directional/sided? The only markings I can find read 'Inner Side'

 

Here is a pic of the tyres I've been sent with both inner side markings facing towards each other. To me, this doesn't look right. :blink:

I had a terrible time convincing my tyre fitter to fit them, he was convinced they were wrong. http://audisrs.com/archive/vredestein-ultrac-sessanta-not-fitted-right...__o_t__t_10039.html

 

The Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta is the newest ace in the Ultra High Performance (UHP) segment. The Sessanta is based on the strong points of the Ultrac series and has been optimised even further to give very good steering and handling characteristics. Giugiaro Design has given the Ultrac Sessanta an innovative design, with a line pattern that clearly shows that performance comes first. The name Sessanta refers to the sixty years of Vredestein's existence in Enschede. In tribute to Vredestein's unique collaborative partnership with Giugiaro Design, "sixty" will be written in Italian: sessanta. Parametric design - from the drawing board to the shelfThe Ultrac Sessanta is designed parametrically. This means that the tread construction, shape and contours are optimised for every size using mathematical formulae based on design parameters. Each size of the Ultrac Sessanta therefore offers maximum design quality. Benefits Good performance and unique appearance Optimal design quality: profile, construction, design and contours selected according to mathematical formulae for each size Thanks to this ingenious design, the Ultrac Sessanta is asymmetrical but its performance is not directional. This makes the tyre exceptionally quiet . Extremely high tracking power, allowing faster cornering Measured correction of the car is possible on bends . Very direct steering feel Optimal contact with the road surface

Maximum resistance to lateral forces The car stays more controllable in the most crititcal situations.
