According to Rob Lanes's site http://www.robs7.com (click on "wheels" ) the yellow dot is the lightest part of the tyre and should be positioned as close to the valve as possible, at least with Yokohamas

I thought that you used the red dot to align to a balance point on the wheel if there is one....
