Nitto Trail Grapplers no yellow dot?

[Darkspeed]

I’m mounting nitto trail grapplers today and there is no yellow dot to show the light spot. Is this normal? Where should I align the valve stem?

In the scheme of a tire/wheel package that heavy, it's not likely to make a huge difference? Stem w/ TPMS weighs less than 1 oz and an area had to me machined for the stem to pass through anyway?

I’m just used to working from the yellow light spot so I figured I should ask.

I like it! Just trying to do it the best way possible........Something not practiced much anymore!

Make sure you line up the stems with the lettering on the sidewall.........Or am I the only one who would do such a thing?

I'm not sure if that's the proper clocking? Maybe another post asking the internet for the right way in in order?

Next, how will you balance? Cone inside, outside or pin plate? Static, dynamic, Counteract, Equal, or AirSoft BB's? Lead? Steel?

I did standard valve stem in one hole and 433Mhz transmitter in the other hole .il take them monday for static weights. I have centramatic dynamic weights but they would not clear the brake caliper with this wheel, i need to modify them a little.

Post pics of them mounted when you are done. That is a good looking wheel, I like the brushed and polished aluminum.

Thanks I will. Kmc grenade crawls

Many moons ago, before road force balancing, I can remember mounting, spinning, clocking, spinning, ad nauseam until they took the absolute least amount of weight.

What about the red dot? I thought that was also there to denote themlight side of the tire?

 

[Darkspeed]

Red dot is to mark the high spot in the tire I think. These have neither

My BFG 39s have no dots either. They took 22, 19, 17, and 8 oz to dynamically balance. Even then they are still not perfect but it's as close as it's going to get as no one around me will roadforce 39s
