Depends. Some tires are asymmetric and require left or right directional rotation. Some tires have 'outside' stamped on the sidewall. they are symmetric tires with a different tread pattern across the tire. They have to be mounted with 'outside' facing toward you when mounted. Most all-weather and some snow tires are symmetric with 'outside' designation. Most high-performance tires are asymmetric.
The difference between all-weather and all-season tires is interesting. Google it.
