Default nitto neo gens, are they uni directional?

if they are unidirectional, how can I tell if the tire tread were placed in the right direction?

I had my rims and tires changed at americas tires, and a week later they told me they didnt install the hub center ring on one of the wheels. why they didnt tell me the day they did it, I think they new they messed up.they also told me my new tenzo rims dont come with center rings, so they used my old ones.. grr... they actually told me I needed to pay them more money if I wanted new center rings with the new wheels. I was informed of this a week after when I realized there were no center rings with my old wheels.

anyhow, when I found out, they told me I only had 3 rings, which I know for a fact is not true, had my cousin install them.

not only that, they scractched my old rims.. sigh.. and the new rim they showed me was scratched in the back of it.

they didnt give me a chance to inspect the other wheels.

I thought these guys were professionals, didnt think theyd be this sloppy with wheel install.

so id like to know if they installed my tires right, can anyone tell me if these tires are uni directional and if so, how can I tell if they are in the right direction?

There should be an arrow on the sidewall of the tire that says which direction they should go... if they have a specific direction.

it will appear as if the tires are backwards from the other side, but it is a non directional tire.just make sure the outer side says outside

Neo Gens have an "outside" and "inside". As long as the "outside" is facing outward, the tire can roll on either side of the car. Look for the words to be stamped into the sidewall.
