contiprocontact directional?? X rotate

I want to rotate them- they don't appear to be directional...but I'd like to be sure- do I cross rotate or just front to rear (not right to left AND front to rear) rotate??

To keep them rotating in the same direction, F to R.

If their directional, they're likely to have an arrow on the sidewall pointing

in the direction of rotation. At least, the 6 sets of directional tires I've had on cars did.

OK- but if they are NOT directional- why does it matter?

Not trying to be an AH just want to understand the concept-

Because the cord belting doesn't like to lay down in reverse, not critical but wise.
