Buyer programs

Maxxis sourcing by buyer and application

Start with the decision your buyer needs to make. Market files, mixed size lists, duty-cycle requirements and replacement fitment each call for a different review.

Match the brief to the buying channel

Importers

Match tire size, service description and sidewall marking to the market file before comparing freight or pack quantities. Separate mixed-container limits by size.

Distributors

Quote per size and season. Record tread depth and pattern with the exact SKU so a later substitution is visible in the replenishment order.

Fleets

Send axle role, typical loaded duty, speed and road surface. Compare rolling resistance and grip only under comparable test conditions. A lower value in one test does not establish longer tread life on your routes.

Service networks

For tire replacement, record the vehicle and intended rim. For hub and bearing work, match OE cross reference, flange dimensions, ABS encoder type, seal and kit contents to the vehicle build.

Example procurement decisions

Example 01 / Distribution

Stock replenishment or custom program

For an illustrative six-size order, check which stock sizes meet the stated service description and date-code limit. In an illustrative split, four approved stock sizes and two pending sizes produce two different release decisions. A custom offer may resolve the missing tread or pack, while a second supplier changes inspection, documentation and load planning. Compare landed cost per tire and sample time by SKU.

Example 02 / Fleet

Compare tread offers under the same duty

Request the tested size, inflation, load and method for a rolling resistance comparison. Record wet grip and durability evidence separately. If methods differ, mark the values as incomparable and ask for a matched test basis.

Example 03 / Service network

Integrated hub or serviceable bearing

An integrated hub can package the flange, bearing and encoder as a unit. A serviceable bearing may preserve field replacement on the intended platform. Compare encoder interface, installation steps, bearing preload and kit scope before choosing.

Bring the application into the quote

Send vehicle, duty cycle and destination alongside the part or size list.
