Good eye Soon. I think you are right. They are directional and it looks like the driver's side rear tire is going the wrong way.
 
I noticed the same thing about the rotors. The design of the drills should spin toward the front an it seems like that one on the front left should be on the front right no?

Depends on the internal vanes, rotor direction is based off the vanes not the direction of slots or holes.

Yup they are directional, good catch.
The PARADA Spec-X radial's all-season tread compound is molded into an aggressive directional tread design that features linked shoulder blocks, variably sized intermediate tread blocks and two continuous center ribs to combine acceleration, braking and cornering competence with a comfortable ride. A wide circumferential center groove and sweeping lateral grooves provide water evacuation to resist hydroplaning and increase wet traction. The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts reinforced by spirally wrapped nylon to provide strength, uniformity and durability on top of a polyester cord body that enhances ride quality.

Yeah - definitely a good catch! I never noticed! After seeing this comment I went and checked all four tires. They are all facing the same direction. Are they all backwards?

Jeff is right - the rotors are most definitely directional and actually labeled Left and Right with a sticker out of the Stoptech box. I only removed the stickers after installation.
 
great!, hope my boss isn't reading this thread. :laugh: I'm not too productive today.

Haha, I noticed this too, but the Parada's have such a strange tread I wasn't sure. I did the same thing over on some Mustang forums where a guy had his tires the wrong way also. Basically when looking straight on it should make a V and not an ^
