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.

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