Preserve the baseline
Keep the dated size list and original target market with each revision.
Our role
About the Maxxis sourcing desk
An independent China procurement coordination service for importers, distributors, fleets and service networks. Brand references identify purchasing interests. This site operates independently of the referenced tire brand and its channels.
Why the desk is organized around the buyer brief
A size list moves through several hands before a tire is shipped. A buyer may ask for a tread by name, a supplier may quote the size alone, and a packing list may use another SKU. The desk keeps the original requirement and the proposed match together so those changes can be reviewed.
For a mixed replenishment brief, a single supplier may simplify repeatability and paperwork. A second supplier may fill size gaps, with extra work to align the inspection and loading windows.
Consider a buyer who requests 225/45R18 with load index 95. If the quote gives the size but omits the speed rating and tread, keep the line open and request the missing service description. The same applies if the sample sidewall does not match the quote.
Three rules for recording a decision
Show the evidence owner
Identify records from the supplier, inspector and buyer separately.
Make exceptions visible
Record who accepted a change in load index, tread, pack or delivery basis.
Give receiving teams a record they can use
A buyer-approved packing list connects size, quantity and bundle marks to the quoted SKU. Match the packing list revision and date to the purchase order, then record any difference by size. Check the sample record before accepting a different tread or load index. Ask the receiving team to flag which label fields it needs for count, inspection and traceability before packaging is agreed.
For replacement buyers, that can help isolate a discrepancy to a line item without making assumptions about the full shipment.
