Yes the wheel will have the extra web for support from now on. As for a "hand colored" dot I have not seen any like that. the dot color has changed a bit and is now a bit darker blue but other then that I don't know.
I have a couple hundred sets in stock right now and the dots look the same throughout my batch... and with that we have not had any reports of defective tires.
I wish we could put a date code on the tire, maybe something to look into the next version, that way JACO will be able to track this kind of stuff
better.
I guess there is still a possibility that maybe a batch of greens got labeled blues by mistake or something.. Only reason I suggest this is because of the comments that the tires came in so quick and then tore apart, basic indication of a softer tire. Remember these are mounted/lableled and packaged by human.. The employees in the back are all great people but mistakes can happen.
As mentioned before, the JACO Blue was designed as a spec tire that creates even playing fileds.
As I hear news I will pass it along.
Thanks
