A stripe or mark applied to a wheel rim and extending onto the sidewall of a tube-type tire is referred to as what?

The term for a stripe or mark applied to a wheel rim that extends onto the sidewall of a tube-type tire is known as a slippage mark. This mark serves an important purpose during the installation of the tire. It indicates the position of the tire on the rim and helps identify any potential slippage that can occur during operation. The application of this mark helps in ensuring that the tire is properly seated and remains securely attached to the rim while in use.

The other terms in the choices denote different concepts. An alignment mark generally refers to markings used for aligning components accurately during installation or maintenance, a balance mark is used to indicate the optimal location for balancing weights on a wheel, and a deterioration mark would indicate a level of wear or damage on a tire but does not pertain to installation or slippage. Only the slippage mark is directly related to the prevention of tire movement on the rim.
