New Yokahama tires come with two markings on the outer sidewall, a small yellow dot and a small red circle.<br> I understand the yellow dot refers to the 'heavy spot' on the tire and is normally placed adjacent to the 'light spot' on the wheel, normally the valve stem.<br> Is this the case....?? <br> and what is red mark for....??

Should be Yokohama Tyres.<br> Must need a new 'bell-cheque'.

I don't think your problems are normal. You might want to get a different set of rims.

I don't know, Lee, but my new Yoks have a terrible roll in hard corners-I've never had that problem with a tire!
