I honestly can't remember which tire I was running at the time. The Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar G:2 is an Asymmetric/Directional tire however if you need an example.
Asymmetric tires have a different inner and outer tread design, to maximize grip and therefore have an outside marking for mounting. Directional tires have a V-shaped tread design which is typically designed to move water from the middle to the edges or in the cases of some all-season/winter tires to maximize their bite into snow. Asymmetric/Directional tires combine the features of both.
Most directional tires are not asymmetric or I'd have a lot more examples of asymmetric/directional tires to draw from.
