R these tires directional or uni-directional?

Michelin Pilot HX MXM4 Radial XSE P235/45/R17 93W (stockies)

Was too busy to rotate my tires, so had the wife take the car down to have the tires rotated.
I forgot to mark them and just wanna make sure they are on the correct way just in case they R directional.
Searched everywhere but can't find any info about directionality
I looked, but I don't see any arrows on the tires

The MXM4s are not directional.
I just had mine replaced today with Advan S4s (which are directional).

Rule of thumb...directional tires have an arrow pointin in the direction of intended travel on the sidewall of the tire, usually if you dont see this arrow, your tires are NOT directional

46K miles, but they were not worn to the wear bars-- they probably could have gone for another 8K/10K miles. I saw some Tire Rack reviews where some 3G TL drivers were getting 70K+ miles out of the MXM4s.

However, the MXM4s seemed to harden up and lose some ultimate traction after about 25K miles (as did other speed-rated Michelin tires on prior cars). They were still pretty quiet on most road surfaces, though.
