Default RE 070 Directional?

So I was curious if the 070's are directional or not? I can't find anything on the sidewall, but just want to make sure before I take my car off jack stands.

Thanks

Aaron

Not directional, but the larger tread block needs to be on the outside.

Symmetrical & Directional Ex.) Bridgestone RE01R (http://www.tirerack.com/images/tires...e01r_ci1_l.jpg)
Symmetrical & Non-Directional Ex.) Bridgestone RE92 (http://www.tirerack.com/tires/BigPic...l=Potenza+RE92)
Asymmetrical & Directional Ex.) Can't find one, because that would be stupid to mfg, that means they'd have to MFG them in pairs a left side and a right side.
Asymmetrical & Non-Directional Ex.) Bridgestone RE070, Bridgestone RE-11 etc. (http://www.tirerack.com/tires/BigPic...=Potenza+RE-11)

While technically I don't think they are labeled as directional, they sure look like it.

I remember those tires when they came out. Always wanted to try them out, but never got a chance.
