On the Michelin Hypercar and GTE Am tires, a white marking on the sidewall is used for the soft compound, while yellow features on the mediums and red is displayed on the hards. The rain tires will sport a light blue identification.
For Goodyear’s LMP2 tires, its slicks are sporting yellow markings, while the wets are blue.
