Default Rotation Eagle F1 Supercar tires??

I got a set of goodyear eagle F1's for dirt cheap. I'm gonna run them for racing till they're burned up.

So I cannot figure out which side the tires install on? How do I tell on the rear which tire goes on which side? Thanks!

The big raised stamp that reads "this side faces outward"
They are not directional but there is an inside and outside.

The thickest chunky tread blocks go to the outside.

Yeah I looked at the tires. And both were identical. Even the part numbers. So I just put them on there. Then I went out on the high way and punched it when no cars were coming to see if it pulled really hard one way or the other when it broke loose. Seemed fine

Had figured they would be different tread patterns for one side or the other though. I was a little surprised ??
