Re: What the heck is this?

Is it most likely put in the bead area so that it can't be damaged.
They might want to rethink that then. I had the tires on my truck for one winter and when I took them off the bar code sticker was already almost illegible.

The tire seals on the bottom edge. The barcode is added during the tire making process so we have traceability. Every component of the tire is scanned and ties to that particular barcode.

Sounds like I work for Michelin... and I do.
