Thank you CapriRacer.

Now for another story from me:  
When in high school I first got my 59 Catalina, took it out on the interstate, bouncing in the rearend. Removed the rear wheels, one had 4-8 ounces all on on side of the rim! Why they were there, have no idea. Removed them, balanced the tire on the bubble balancer, only required, maybe a 1/4 ounce weight.  
Smooth ride at \>100 MPH.

> NO OEM requires the balance points to be marked , no requirement to mark … either the high point or the light point … Many tire manufacturers don’t mark at all … Some the marking is different. … aftermarket wheels are generally not marked.

So no confusion w/ tire mounting then … lol …

Just kidding Capri, thanks for the add’l info! I mounted and bubble balanced four 15 inch Michelins (truck) and four 13 inch Hankooks (Corolla) a couple years ago, and both had yellow marks which matched the lightest tire segment.

I remember I bought Michelin tires mid 70s for my 1970 VW Bug. When I sold the dear in mid 80s, buyer actually thought that I had recently put on new tires. Nope–the same ones.
