? I'm confused on Tire markings

[foxfire42]

Can someone post a picture of the balancing guide marks for the 19" Firestone tires with the valve stems in place?

Reading the JS's is not as informative for me as a picture.

if i remember right, they removed that from the standards in 94 or 97. Ford did not care where the trade mark was located. I always line them up with the stem anyway. but always make sure the serial number is on the inside of the tire.

Here's a couple pictures of a Firestone 21" tire I took at French Lick. Maybe it will help.

On these tires, do you just use paint in applying the red to the logo and for the stripe and balancing mark?

Painting the shield and red square is pretty easy but the red line is a killer. I haven't found a good way to do it except hire a professional pinstriper. Anyone have a better way to do it yourself?

Spin it on a hub and use a bugler pin striping tool or pin striping brush.

That's how I pinstriped the wheels on my uncle's antique horse buggy. Unfortunately the machine shed it and some tractors were in burned to the ground 3 years ago when my cousin made the mistake of burning the tall grass around it.
