I had this exact same question come up last week.
I think the answer depends on who you ask. At least
it did for me.
I was planning on using that little mark to line up with
the rim-lock and call it good.
At the slow speeds I ride at. Who'd ever
notice an out-of-balance tire anyway?

BTW 53.5% of the people I asked said it was the lightest.

Is the mark on the tire at the lighest or heaviest point?

It is the lightest spot.
With no rim lock, mount the tire with the valve stem corresponding to
the mark (paint circle).
If there is a rim lock, mount the tire with the mark corresponding to
the rim lock.
