Tire mounting question



Is the mark on the tire at the lighest or heaviest point?
Lightest (in the auto indistry, anyway).
Was taught on cars to align the dot with the valve stem.
It is the lightest spot.
With no rim lock, mount the tire with the valve stem corresponding to
the mark (paint circle).
If there is a rim lock, mount the tire with the mark corresponding to
the rim lock.
Why didn't someone post this before Saturday night?

I'm more than a little disappointed.
Loosen the lock... let the air out... spin the tire... blow it up...
tighten the lock... there glad I could help... :) :) :)
But I'm already done and in a record 2 hours 45 minutes with no
pinched tubes AND under the gun. I think I'll leave well enough
alone.
