[QUOTE="Afast03nNJ, post: 409033, member: 2182"] Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the dot on the tire was the heavy or high spot on the tire, which in turn should be mounted 180 degrees out from the heavy spot on the rim.... Do I have that wrong? EDIT: Copied from TireRack's web site. "Original Equipment (OE) tire suppliers are required to mark the tire's "high point" while OE wheel manufacturers mark the wheel's "low point." This helps the vehicle manufacturer match mount combinations that maximize new car ride quality while reducing the amount of balancing weight." Can somebody apply this to motorcycle tires and how we "Match Mount"? [/QUOTE]
