Unidirectional....

how come some tires look like they have unidirectional thread(Parada Spec-2, Azenis) but they don't offer then in "Right Side", "Left Side" configuration, is it just how they work??

If it is one way just flip it upside down and you have a tire for the other side. They can go on either side of the car, it does't matter. Sorta like latex gloves can fit on either hand, just turn it around.

the Falkens azenis are like that, They aren't Directional, but they are Asymmetrical. so there is an Inside and an oustide of the tire, and need to be mounted to the wheel properly. BUt once mounted you can use that tire any where on the car.

I am not sure what you are talking about. They should look the same on all four wheels.
