Tire mounting and balancing
I am getting ready to install new commander II tires on my bike. There is no yellow or red dot on either tire to line up with the valve stem
 . So what do I line up. I am going to use dyna beads so not sure it really matters but want them to be balances as well as possible. I searched and read several old post and didn't get a real clear answer. I checked Michelins web site and they said to spin balance and Michelin does not recommend the use of dry or liquid balancers/sealers or any other balancing materials. Tires and Tubes into which these have been injected will not be covered under warranty.  There is a bar code on the beads of both is that where I should line up with. Thanks in advance

I installed a set of Dunlop Elite 3's when I had my Nomad. There was no mark on them. I went on the Dunlop website and they had a FAQ section that addressed this. They said they weren't needed due to the design of the tires. I balanced them with Dynabeads and they rode great.
Did you try the Michelin website?

I used the beads in my CommanderII's and have had no problems for 17,000 miles. I don't recall any marks on mine either.

I just mounted them up and put the beads in.... All is good so far 14000 miles. As for the warranty Michelin doesn't make a commander II that fits a 1600 so the warranty isn't any good anyway.
