Hi guys years ago i was told that the yellow dot on new tyres was a point to help balance the tyre.and to place it beside the valve is that an urban myth!cheers Lou

Yes, it does generally help to balance the tyre, but at the end of the day you're going to have to balance the wheels anyway so doesn't really matter where abouts it is.

i was told this also and find that it does usually work if the rim is no damaged
