Title: Tire Balance Mark???? Help!
Post by: Joe M on October 04, 2004, 05:07:53 PM

I just finished mounting front tire (Bridgestone BT 45) with yellow dot lined up with valve stem. Then I noticed a smaller white dot elsewhere on the tire. I did not plan on balancing the tire so which is correct mark?

I have not seated the beads yet but my compressor is running as I write this!

Thanks

Joe

Sorry it took so long for someone to reply. My system has been wrecking havoc. Use the mark that is closest to the bead of the tire. I believe that should be the yellow mark. But it will be the one closest to the bead. Love the GS and the forum.
