Default Toyo MT"S and the little yellow circles

Hey anyone ever here anything about the little yellow circles on the toyo tires?

i think thats what theyre for... i dont think it really makes a difference tho, unless its a little light on that side so they set the valve stem there to compensate and make balancing easier...

Yes i did find a pdf file from toyo that said that this is the light point of the tire and should be place on the heavy spot of the wheel but what Tire shop would take the time to spin the wheel with no tire mounted and locate the heavy spot mark it and then mount the tire the way it should be...
for what I paid them *** holes for the tires there going to do it! when I get back to ky and purchase my wheels just for spite... Momba M3's!

My Nitto Terra Grapplers on my Jeep have a pretty light blue circle and yes, it's right at the valve stems...
