Default Tyre Fitting:

Can anybody confirm the correct position for the red dot on tyres. We have been fitting them with the dot directly opposite the valve (Pirrelli Super Corsa Pros), is this Right?

If there's a balance mark, and many tyres don't have one, it should be placed adjacent to the valve.
