Ok guys, I went and got some new tires installed on the ISF. Went to pick it up today and noticed my Samurai Spoke wheels on the front switched ie left front on the right front. On the tire, the right front with the wrong rim, I spotted the "outside" label. But I could not see it on any of the other tires, one front and two rears. I left the ISF there and will go back in morning to the dealer and discuss. These PSS are unidirectional right? So are the rims right? They looked great but I did not want to drive on them like this. Thanks setting me straight, before I go back to the Lexus dealer.

edited first response after rereading your question.
The tires are not directional but they are asymmetrical so you should see the "outside" label on each tire.

It's only the wheels that are directional. In theory, the 08 wheels are meant for each corner, but I've seen it numerous times where owners swap sides to prolong the life of tires, and I see no adverse effect to that, other than it looks weird. The tires themselves will have a specific groove pattern in that you don't want the contact patch to be on the outside and the traction maximized on the inside. Definitely make sure it says "OUTSIDE" on all four. There are some who think that it won't matter, and they're usually at low end car shops that try to churn out as many customer rides as possible.

Glad I am not the only one, 305/30 back ordered since Feb and they keep giving me the run around on when they are coming. I ended up with PSS on the front and my rears eventually wore to the chords so I had no choice I had to go with PS2 on the rears I hate mix and matching tires.
To answer your question they are not directional.
