Tire direction?

I got a good buy on ebay on some used tires. Since my last set of Kumho's dry rotted on me I wanted to try some very good used tires at a cheap price.
Front tires are Michelin Pilot Primacy and the rear tires are Dunlop SP Sport 8080. Both sets have 1/4" of tread left. 245 40 17
Putting them on Saturday!

Witch side of the tires go to the outside on the middle tires?

Does it not say on the sidewall?

Edit... It appears (if I am looking at them correctly) that those are 2 LH tires

Straight tread on the outside. Had looked over it before. Need glasses for my old age.

If it doesn't say on the tire to mount one side in, then just make sure you have your directional arrows going the right way. I have a set of pilot sports and they are the same way

The Dunlop SP Sport 8080 suck as far as takeoff. Spin in 3rd. Never with the kumho's. The rubber is soft and looks new. They ride good and feel good around the curves but power out of a curve and you drift. The Michelin Pilot Primacy are very nice. Stick good and quiet going down the road. May have to pick me up 2 more of them. IT's worth $30 to try out a set of tires.

I don't know how it looks in person, but the wheel color with the car color looks really good to me

To think I almost didn't get them. I really like them now.
