Default Are continental sportcontact 2's directional?
I'm quite sure they aren't but want to make sure 100% before I start moving tires around.

thanks-

If they are, it will be clearly marked on the sidewall with an arrow.

Not sure, but clicking the Tirerack link shown above, get you this picture of a tire:

and a write up here:

Don't see, nor any mention of directionality.

Only thing written on the N2's and N3's sidewall I just looked at is OUTSIDE.
So they are not asymetric(directional)

I hope not. I'll have to backup eventually.

i looked everywhere on the tire and couldn't find any directional markings. just bolted them up and haven't thought about it since.

They are not directional, they are asymetrical. They will have an "outside" listed on them, but not a directional arrow.
