No they are not but there is an inside and outside. It's marked on the side wall.

One more question about the rear tires. after 1900 miles and the rear tires are removed, if the tire which was ion the left side was placed on the right and visa versa, could that cause a vibration? if so, switching them back, would that correct the problem...

I could be very wrong but I was always told that any radial tire should not be swapped direction for rotating. You can move front to back so they are going in the same direction. In this case, it obviously wouldn't work due to the different sizes. New, they could be mounted on either side but after they've been on the car, they shouldn't be swapped.

That could be VERY old information since I'm old and tire technology may be way better now and that not be an issue.

I was under the same impression, but I was wondering if switching them to see if the vibration goes away would do more damage than good? Anyone with tire background with input, I would really appreciate...

It's old information, with all 4 tires the same size a criss cross pattern is recomend.
