... I can't remember what colour the labels are. Is the small painted spot (about 10mm) on the sidewall the same? ...
The coloured spots are there to give some guidance to the fitter - indicate the low & high weight spots on the tyre prior to fitting on the rim. But I’m not sure if it’s common to all manufacturers. One of my rear pair has a red dot close to the valve point. Some argue that budgets are more likely to require counter-weights.
The Netherlands `DeNieuweBand’ list makes interesting reading - although perhaps of more use to Croma jockeys on 16”/17” rims, than those trapped into 225/45R18 95Y.
