01 / Catalog

Build the program around the vehicle

Passenger and commercial tire samples on inspection stands

Primary product line

Passenger & Commercial Tires

Prepare a separate line for each size, load index, speed rating and tread. A buyer-approved substitution should identify the exact changed field so it can be carried through the quote and sample record.

Open the product catalog

Passenger replacement

Capture the vehicle placard specification and target market before comparing summer or all-season tread options.

Light truck programs

Specify the fitment, loaded duty and preferred tread. Keep service description and construction visible when offers share a size.

Commercial fleet lines

Separate steer, drive and trailer applications. Capture axle configuration and the number of units required per size.

02 / Specification intake

Three groups of data make a quote comparable

Product line

  • Size and construction, for example 225/45R18 as a format example.
  • Load index and speed rating recorded separately.
  • Tread, intended rim and axle position where relevant.

Commercial scope

  • Units by SKU, target market and destination port.
  • Minimum order quantity by size and mixed-container limits.
  • Incoterm and named place, with tooling and sample costs listed separately.

Release criteria

  • Buyer-approved sample reference and sidewall marking photos.
  • Applicable document and product scope, where required.
  • Inspection instructions and responsibility for exceptions.

03 / Workflow

Four decisions between brief and booking

  1. 01

    Clarify the brief

    Separate must-have fitment from negotiable preferences.

  2. 02

    Normalize offers

    Compare at the same named place and document which charges are included.

  3. 03

    Review the sample

    Match its size, pattern and sidewall identifiers to the proposed production SKU.

  4. 04

    Confirm handoff

    Reconcile quantities, pack marks and document ownership before booking.

05 / Purchasing questions

Decisions to settle before ordering

Fitment and performance

Can two tires with the same size be compared directly?

Use the size as a starting point. Confirm the load index, speed rating, intended rim and tread use before comparing. Wet grip and rolling resistance claims need comparable methods, tire variants and operating conditions.

Does a sample check establish road performance?

A sample can confirm visible markings and agreed physical characteristics. Performance decisions require applicable test evidence that identifies the tested SKU, method and conditions.

Ordering and handoff

When does a stock offer make sense?

A stock offer can suit replenishment when its exact size mix and date-code limits are acceptable. A custom program lets the buyer specify pack and tread requirements but adds sample approval and supplier-specific order constraints.

Can several suppliers share a shipment?

We can coordinate the comparison. Each supplier needs compatible loading dates, pack marks and documents. Confirm how additional handling, partial delays and exceptions affect the landed comparison.
