Greetings,

Here is a little quiz for you. I did not know this until doing a little reading on the web.

See the yellow dot? What is that for?

It's the lightest location of the tire and should be lined up with the valve stem to compensate for it.

Hey Hogger - what happens if yer tire don't have a dot? What then?

 

[GSXTacy]

They have to balance it on a machine. The dot are mostly for guys that change there own tires with tire bars and such. Its not an exact science but it works pretty well.
