Default Directional question for my winter setup.....(Kumho Ecsta ASX)

Below is a link of the tires I currently run on my stock 17s. Wanted to know if these were uni-directional since I want to make sure I install the rims/tires the correct way. I looked on the sidewalls, and it doesn't appear so (no arrow markings)....so I assume I can throw them on either which way.<ul><li><a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR4&url=%2Ftires%2Ftires.jsp%3FtireMake%3D Kumho%26amp%3BtireModel%3DECSTA%2BASX%26amp%3Bvehi cleSearch%3Dfalse%26amp%3Bpartnum%3D245WR7EASX%26a mp%3BfromCompare1%3Dyes%26amp%3Bplace%3D8">Kumho Ecsta ASX<

Default The ASX is not directional, but does have an inside and outside to them.

My wifey has the on her Cooper S. They are not really a "winter" tire... at least not here in Maine!

Default awesome thank you! Yes I agree....i used them last winter, and they held up under moderate snow...

There was no chance I was taking the Audi up to Vermont to go snowboarding though.

Now time for me to throw these things on. =)

Default lol...i do. I live on the 3rd floor of a development, so I had to lug all 4 rims down 3 flights...

that alone tired me out! LOL. Ok so I have 3 on, and one more to go. This last bolt is a PITA to take off w/o a breaker bar! #$@(*$@&amp;#
