JCW 18's RF Dunlop, which way to put on car

Hey all, we just got the new JCW 18's on RF Dunlops and the tires are not uni-directional, but side dependent. What I mean is that there are 2 different types of treads on the tire. It has vertical grooves, like a rain tire and a tread pattern on the other side. My ? is, which side goes on the outside?

I thought the tires actually have "inside" and "outside" labelled on them, on the sidewall? I might be wrong, but I thought they did...

Not too sure, that would make sense though.

The solid edge on the right is the outside. The swept edge is the inside!

More about the OE JCW tires
