Default Firestone Firehawk TZ200

Can anyone confirm wether or not Firestone Firehawk TZ200 are directional/asymetrical type tyre or neither.

The guy at the garage said that they were neither but the tread surface had coloured lines close to one edge which I thought suggested otherwise. I think one of them is fitted the wrong way round because the coloured lines are fitted to the inner rim on one wheel and the outer rim on the other.

Also since they were fitted the road noise is now v.loud, it sounds like a knackered wheel bearing but there is no play whatsoever in either wheel. (I've read reviews about this tyre and it's supposed to be a quiet touring tyre)

They have no obvious direction arrows but the tyre wall has pattern on it which could be, it looks like chevrons on signs.



Please help

From the pics I can find on the internet I'd say this tyre is non directional. If it was directional or asymetrical the sidewalls would say so.
