Directional vs. non-directional
The big issue comes in if they are Assemetrical, where there is a specifid right and left tire . . . such as a BFD KD . . . .
The easy way to tell if a tire is directional is the tread pattern starts to look like and arrow pointing one direction . . .

Well as for the reason for wanting a non-directional tire, I only drive the TA in dry conditions and don't care about the wet characteristics of it. Plus the biggest thing is that I want to be able to rotate my front 2 tires with each other to make them last longer.
How does rotating the fronts side to side with each other make them last longer?
The outside edge would still be the outside edge . . .
Rotating front to rear gets you the most wear . . .
My rule of thumb with a radial is once they rotate one direction they should always run that direction.
So rotations would be front to back . . .
