Default Know if Pirelli PZero Rosso's have a right and left tread?

Looking for some help. I just bought a set of Pirelli PZero Rosso's from someone other than a dealer. The tires have words on them that say "inner" in four languages to show which side goes toward the wheel well. Unfortunately, when I do that, and stand the tires side by side with "inner" to "inner" the tread pattern appears to be backwards on the one on the left.
I have 2 pair, front and rear, and they both look this way. They are Assimetrico's.

I have tried to get pics from my phone and they wont send. I will get them on here another way.

In the meantime...does anyone know what I'm talking about

If the tread is "Asimmetrico" then yes there is a right and left tire.


If the tread is "Direzionale" Then the left and right should be the same.

They say inner and outer>>>why not Right and Left....??

I have them on and they seem okay....but it seems weird to me.

I have to take pics with a camera and download...the phone pictures won't open when I email them to myself.

On this specific tire, there is not a right and left designation. Although the tread may look like its going the wrong way on one side, as long as you have them mounted so that the "inner" designation is on the inside, everything is ok. Some asymetric tires, such as the BF Goodrich G-Force KD, have a left and right designation but, that is only if the asymetric design is also directional. The Pirelli P-Zero Rosso does not have a directional asymetric design.
