Re: Question about tires?

I did some checking. The 185 is the width of the tread in millimeters. 60 means the height of the sidewall is 60% of the tread width. The R means it is a radial tire and the 14 is the diameter of the rim in inches. The UTOG means universal tire grade. The 82 is the load factor and the H means it has a speed rating of 135. The 280 is the tread wear factor and denotes a tread life of 28,000 miles. The A A is the temperature rating of the tire. The Doral SDL tires a V in the tread design and will only rotate in one direction with the V pointing to the front of the car. The tires have some red dots on the sidewall only on one side. I wonder what that means.
