Does Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Trailer Tire AM10140 Have Balancing Dots
Question:
Can you tell me if the kenda st145/R12 LRE has a yellow dot or red and yellow dots for installation?
asked by: Larry
Expert Reply:
Yes, the Kenda Tire part # AM10140 that you referenced does have the yellow and red dots like you mentioned.
Typically the yellow dot indicates the point on the tire that SHOULD be mounted next to the valve stem for the best balance.
The red dot is the uniformity mark. As well as not being able to manufacture perfectly weighted tires, it's also nearly impossible to make a tire which is perfectly circular. Every tire has a high and a low spot, the difference of which is called radial run out. Manufacturers typically mark this high point with a red dot on the tire sidewall.
When you have this tire mounted the guys at the shop will know all of this and will mount it accordingly.
