If you are referring to the colored dots, they are there to help the technician when they mount the tire on the wheel. A yellow dot is supposed to be aligned with the valve stem. This makes it easier to balance the tire with the least amount of weights. The yellow dot is the lightest part of the tire. A red dot indicates a spot in the tire that is the thickest.
