What are these red and yellow dots on my tires?

That’s a question we often at tireteam.com. Believe it or note, those polka dots you see serve a very important purpose when it comes to mounting and balancing your tires.

For example, a site visitor may search for a tire and receive upwards of 200 tire options. What is the mos ...[more]
