Assumeing we are talking about the RT-215's and not the ST-115's, Falken lists these as asymetrical tires but I can see why someone would think they were asymetrical, directional because when you look at them in the pic above it just doesnt look right. Looking at the pic above I would think there should be a left and right tire since the diagonal lines will be angled in opposite directions. Looking at the tread you would think one side would pump the water towards the outside of the tire and the other would pump it to the inside. Here is a link to Falken http://www.falkentire.com/tires/tuner_choose.htm if it makes you feel better contact them and ask.

They are assymetrical and unidirectional but Falken does not make a left and right tire. This is probably not good in wet but fine in the dry. I would imagine that the tread on one side would force water towards the center of the tire instead of towards the outer edges and could cause the car to hydroplane on one side and not the other.
The Yokohama R-32's have a similar tread pattern but come in a right and left tire but it is an R-compound tire.
