yeah they're just a way of showing the high point and the low point of the tire. I learned this stuff cus i mount tires for a living. Turbotone was correct in saying the tire mounter has to line up the dot (the yellow one) with the valve. Then when you balance the tire u get a better and more accurate reading on the balncer. That's all it is, it comes off over time.
