Do tyre fitters (Citroen take note) know why there is a red dot on tyres

[John S]

I am always surprised how many tyres are fitted "incorrectly" by the car makers.

Tyre makers in general mark the light spot of the tyre so that this can be placed adjacent to the valve stem (the heavy point).
This makes it easier to balance the wheels and less weights need to be used.

This link explains it if you don't believe . http://www.bridgestonetrucktires.com...0ask%20doc.pdf

And pic #4 on this thread http://ds3club.co.uk/showthread.php?...-and-Black-DS3 shows it very well.
