Does anyone remember reading of this or am I just dreaming.

Any advise would be helpful. Thanks
Told to me by tire maker. In the past dot was put for mounting stem, many years ago. For many years now the colored dots are for quality control only. The correct way is use the brand name and center your valve stem. info from Kelsey, Universal,Coker and cooper tire. Have fun modelAtony tony white Lafayette, LA
