I keep throwing toys in the playpen but I think it's all good :
Tyre dude was telling me how he mounts tyres on wheels and said the yellow or white mark was to do with weight.. he didn't know the red marks tho but said they meant something also
google informed!

yellow or white means the heaviest spot, and could be positioned relative to a valve in order to balance it out. (might be opposite the valve, might be with the valve - depends on the weight of the valve)
red mark means where the highest uniformity is, in case your wheel itself has a run-out indicator mark...
in which case you can put the most uniform part of the tyre near the least even part of the wheel, giving smoother running
many wheels have no run-out marks indicated and few tyre places have a run-out dial along with the balancing machine, so yellow is easiest.
the more you know (tm)
