Observe the notes on mounting RSCs

NOTE: RISK OF DAMAGE 
Damage to the rim 
  • In order to avoid damage such as pressure points/scratches on the wheel centering, it is recommended that the rim is fixed to the tire mounting machine with a 5-hole clamping flange.

2 small production-related holes (arrows) could be visible on the tire tread.

The holes are not a defect. The performance and efficiency of the tires are not impaired in any way due to this.

NOTE: TECHNICAL INFORMATION 
If tires are installed on rims without match point, then under unfavorable conditions it can result in so-called radial force variations while driving, which are perceived as vibrations at high speeds.
Radial force variations cannot be eliminated by balancing the complete wheel.
If match points are lacking, the vibration effects can be minimized using suitable tire installation and/or wheel balancing machines.
