old-style R1s

I just bought a set of used BFG R1s (not G-forces).  I just wanted to clear 
up some info before I mount them.

There are two circumferential grooves offset to one side.  The tires are also 
labeled "this side in".  I'm assuming that these tires can not be flipped on 
a rim, then.

Can they be run in any direction?  I didn't see any direction arrows.

What's the story with "built-in camber"?  They are on a camber-challenged 
Integra GSR.

Tire pressures-they seem to have a stiffer sidewall than the Toyo RA-1s and 
G-forces I've had before.  Can anyone recommend ballpark pressures on a stock 
97 Integra GSR for 205/50s all around?

Treadwear-how do these last, compared to a Kuhmo or Toyo?  The surface is 
rather abrasive concrete.

Thanks
Matt
