WAS: Dunlop dots NOW: Yoko markings

["Polletta, Jon" <polletta@cabletron.com>]

	My Yoko AVS Intermediates have 2 markings - a red and a yellow. The
shop aligned the stems with the yellow dots. Any idea what the reds are for?

	Thanks!

Thank you listers!

I received around 12 replys to my question of the purpose of the red
dots on my new Dunlops.  I got an almost unanomous response that they
are a static balance point, meaning the dots should be lined up with the
valve stem.  To bad the tire tech that mounted them didn't know ( or
care ) about them.  At any rate, they balanced and run smooth...as
proven with some way to high speed testing by yours truly.

Thank you for your replys!
