By the way, my P0s had an unsightly orange dot on the sidewall, which is presume is a quality control "stamp".

It will scrap or rub off with a rag and your nail...worth it.

Usually a “dot” mark on a tire indicates the “low weight” side of the tire and should be lined up with the valve stem on the wheel to minimize the balancing correction.
