Weird stickers on tyres

Post

Does anybody remember a few years back, when the cars came from the pits, the had these white stickers in the tyres that wore off during the first lap? Anybody know what they were for? it just seemed like a weird place to put them, on the surface of the tire.

Probably for identification.

Well if I'm not mistaken they had a bar code that had the tire ID, like Irvingthien said...nowadays they have a very small bar code on the tire wall.
