@Orange01z28, thank you for the shout out as well as posting a photo of your awesome Gladiator.

I like them. Keeping eying them but I want them in 38's which they do not have yet.

Keep us updated on them as you use them.

Yeah when the 38s come out I might end up upgraded anyway

That picture shows why Discount Tire is a poor choice for tires.
The workers aren’t aware or taught about basic mounting skills that any tech should know.
Yellow Dots should be placed where the Valve Stem is located. (Red Dot indicates a low spot and not needed too often)
Those Dots are a tire industry standard and are nothing new.
Or they don’t care about early tire wear because they’ll sell you more tires sooner.

Curious as to @Discount Tire' s response to this. I was under the impression that not putting the stem at the dot only meant they would have to waste additional weights? More of a "them" problem than an "us" problem. From reading your comment, it sounds like I am wrong?

If you want to know, call any tire manufacturer or just look on the website of a reputable brand. Toyo shares that information about yellow dots and such.

Yellow dots are the lowest weight area of the tire that is intended to account for a 1.5 ounce tpms or similar valve stem.

 

[SuperUltraMan]

My current setup has no weights, nor are they needed.
40” Toyo MTs on KMC Tank Beadlocks.
Mounted at home and spin balance checked at NTB to see that no tape weights nor balance beads were needed.

The dots are for balance

 

[SuperUltraMan]

Yep, that’s what I’m talking about. Yellow dots are the lightest area so it’s marked to be placed at the valve stem location.
