However, the tread design/pattern was designed to be effective in either direction.

So, in their own words:

"Thanks to this ingenious design, the Ultrac Sessanta is asymmetrical but its performance is not directional. This makes the tyre exceptionally quiet"

I think most people would agree that they are not really directional - since they can rotate effectively in either direction.
Yeah, they are hard to define. Basically, there is an inside and an outside to each tire and they have to go on that way.
