stem position.
After emailing a race tire company's tech guy, he told me that
the above mentioned mark is an inspection mark.
I may be the only one that does not know about "the mark",
but, once I re-positioned my slick and stem to the "mark",
the tire balanced up great!!
BTW I am using tubes & rim screws.

Any way of posting a pic of said mark?
Thanks
