    Tire experts: A question for you.

    My TA is now 7 years old and I've just replaced two of its original tires with new Goodyear Eagle F1 GS tires at 27,000 miles (replaced the other two last September).

    These two new tires have 3 thin stripes (one white, two green) around the circumference of the entire tread.

    What, if anything, do these stripes mean?

    Thanks.
    R.i.K.

    '98 WS6 TA (white, of course!), Hurst Billet/Plus shifter, BBK intake manifold, McGard “blue-ring” lug nuts (12x1.5), PowerSlot brake rotors, Hawk brake pads, Stainless steel braided brake lines, Pontiac arrow, Hotchkis strut tower brace, MBA MAF ends, Reflective Concepts lettering, MTI carbon-fiber look airbox lid . . . and one greying, somewhat eccentric owner.

    bwwahahahah

    those mean nothing, many tire manufactuers brand designations, usually high speed tires, have those. its used in the molding process to insure that after the final cure the tire's conicity is correct and that the tread surface is perfectly aligned.
