Default Are BFG drag radials directional?

I just picked up some BFG drag radials form a member here very nice guy.
I noticed after I had them mounted that the tread pattern on the passenger side was pointing to the rear of the car, while the driver side points to the front of the car. I'm unsure if they are directional or not. If they are I think I have 2 driver sides, but I don't know. If anyone can help me with this I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

Mine are the same way, I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be that way. Or I hope so at least.

I know that my Nittos are. Look on the side of the tire, and it should have an arrow and what side it should be, if they are directional.

If they are like said above, there should be an arrow on the side wall indicating which way to mount the tire.In your case it might be on the inside = backwards. $.02

If you have the gforce t/a radials, there are arrows.

They are Gforce T/A drag radials but they are the second version the
(Gforce T/A Drag Radial 2) I took one of them off and looked all over it. I didn't find any arrows or anything that would specify a direction.

i have noticed on some tires only one side will say inside or outside, the other side will be blank. just look real hard to be shure, and hell i wouldn't be able to stand one looking like it is going the wrong way, take it to a tire shop and have them flip one of them. my .02

They ARE directional, look harder for the arrows.

The original design is asymmetrical, the new design is directional.
