Balanced Tires???

Balanced Tires???
I got my tires from Tirerack and unpacked them all, but there is one tire that doesn't have any balancing weights on it. I see some little yellow and red marks on the tire that I think are from the machine that does the balancing? Anyone know if I could have a balanced tire? I don't want to put a tire on my car that isn't balanced, but I really want to put them on.
Thanks,

The dots
The dots are put on by the mfg. They indicate the high and low spots. One for tire, one for wheel. Forget which is which.
When the tire is mounted, they dots are lined up, so that the high spots counteracts the low spot.
If the other three are balanced, it is quite possible that the high/low spots equaled each other out and didn't need any correction.
You could always go to a tire place, and ask them to check it.
