My Nokian WR G2 Winter Tyres

I have bought four Nokian WR G2 tyres from ANKARA/TURKEY last week.

As you know, these tyres have asymmetrical inside/outside tread pattern. My question comes here; “For these types of tyres do you produce left and right ones explicitely?, so do i need to buy left and right WR G2 tyres?”. I know that directional tyres carry markings on the sidewall which indicate the correct direction of rotation and asymmetrical tyres carry markings to identify the inner- and outward-facing sides. Note that Some tyres are both asymmetrical and directional (Dunlop has). Nokian WR G2 has only inner-outer side markings, on the other hand there are some arrow like lines which i thought that these may be directional indicators. Although i have searched the nokian's web site i could not get the correct wordings that guaranties the wr g2's are not directional.

So i have asked this question to my dealer and they answered “No, these are only outside-inside, not directional tyres.”

As a result they said that it is not important which side you have fitted the tyre (left or right).

But as illustrated in the below figure (Figure 1) the patterns differ for the right and the left side, Is it acceptable or do we need to use left-right tyres?
