Falken 912 - do treads need to go a certain direction?

I took my wheels off and had new tires mounted. There are no arrows on the sidewall and I don't know if they should face a certain way. Anyone know how I can tell? Forgot to ask when I picked them up and shop is now closed. Please help. Anxious to get em on tonight.

Pretty sure they're non-directional.

Thanks. Finally searched Google with the proper terms and figured it out. Definitely not directional. Can be rotated side to side due to staggered wheels.

Directional tires have arrows pointing the direction the tire needs to roll. Sounds like you're safe and can rotate them side to side....enjoy the new rubber!

The Falken 912 is a assymetrical tire. So it can only be mounted one way. It can not be flipped like directional tires can. They can on the other hand be rotated side to side or front to back (if car is not staggered).
