Title: new yoko 008's
Post by: towjoe on August 12, 2016, 04:50:49 PM
A moke I was working on had new 008's. The tires have a red dot and a yellow dot on the side walls.
I think one color denotes valve stem location. The other is denotes heaviest point of the tire.

Help which is which!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Red dot lines up with the valve stem. You can also look inside the tire for the overlap, that will be the "tallest" point on the tire, should be near the valve stem......
