Michelin motorcycle tires do not have an alignment mark. The tires are very close when manufactured. You are generally balancing the wheel as opposed to the tire. If you have any specific Michelin motorcycle tire questions please contact me. Please visit our website at http://www.proaligner.com to learn how to align all motorcycle tires. Thank you. Added by Toiletbrushx: I helped the guy at the shop mount my Michelins this past weekend. I also asked where the mark was, and he said that Michelins don't have an exterior mark like most tires. The alignment point is the tiny barcode on the bead surface. He lined the bar codes up with the valve stems and the front came out perfectly balanced. The rear needed only a .5 weight.
One can purchase Michelin Latitude tires from the Michelin website. One may also purchase these tires from the Tire Rack website and even in store at Sears.
