OK well +1 for directional and +1 for non-directional. Any tie breakers??

Tires are designed asymmetrical to provide more grip during steering maneuvers and may have lower sidewall stiffeners on one side to improve turn in. As such, they are not directional since nothing in the tread pattern says they have to ROTATE on way or the other. They just need to be mounted with the proper sidewall out to take advantage of tread mass distribution and sidewall stiffness.

Hmm you're right. I could've sworn I read somewhere that our stock tires were directional though. Maybe that was just some crap the dealer told me when I bought it.
