Looking in Classic Car Mag yesterday i ended up on the information page . I read ablout new tyres that are fitted that will now have this red or orange dot on the side wall ... I never noticed after i had my new tyres fitted a few weeks ago . Well i find in the mag that the new tyres must be fitted with the red dot just below the tyre valve . - Reason one is - the valve hole for the wheel is the lightest part of any wheel . Reason two,- ,the red spot denotes the heavest part of the tyre ,this is because the steel wire is overlaps in this area . So i went out to check my new set of tyres . Not one red dot anywhere near the valve .
So its time to talk to the foreman tyre fitter, he is a good friend of mine .Every car tyre i purchased i have had from this company. I need to see what he has to say about it. Moral of this is that all new tyres with this little red spot, must be under the tyre valve . So look for this on you next visit for tyres. Google it.
