Default Question for those running 20" Pirelli OE tires

Just picked up a set of Audi 20" sport wheels with mounted Pirelli P Zero's from EBay. Are the P Zero's unidirectional? My sense is that the OE version can be mounted on either side of the vehicle as I don't see any notification / direction arrow on the tread wall. (unlike some Bridgestone RE series tires I've run on previous rides)

I'm hoping those of you running Pirelli 20" OE's can confirm.

Thanks in advance.

Those can be mounted on either side just watch to make sure that you can see the "outside" label on all the tires after they are on the car, or you car will drive like ****, trust me, i know

Thanks so much for the replies. I'll be sure to double check that the "outside" label is showing correctly.

I have had mine rotated a couple times at this point, so no they are not directional.
