ok, so i just got a set of falken ziex ze-512 tires installed on my car and my question is are these tires directional ? i am confused because in the product description it says they are "uni-directional" but on the tire wall there is an arrow and says "rotation". has anybody else noticed this ? thanks in advance for your comments.

Thing is the tire shop should have noticed this and mounted them right.
check with the shop to get them mounted correctly.

and the funny thing is they mounted three of the tires correctly except for the right rear one, and told me that in time when you rotate the tires that wheel will be put in the front left making it rolling in the right direction....:/ . but then which wheel is gonna go to the front right?? anyway, i am gonna get this whole thing straighten out this week. Thanks millions guys.

"Uni-directional" = directional, i.e. in one direction only.
Discount Tire has it right, from what I can tell.
Every tire that is unidirectional has arrows for direction of tire rotation when the vehicle is moving.
