when you mount the tire onto the rim, there's inside vs outside on the rubber.
once that's correctly done, you can mount the wheel/tire unit left or right, no matter wet or dry.

As has been said, they are not directional but rather inside/outside-ional.

Is this true of the PS2s as well? I just checked to make sure that the installers had mounted them properly, and it looks like there's only an "outside" marking, but no directionals.
