Sourcing process
Maxxis procurement services
Independent China sourcing support for tire, wheel and wheel-end projects. Define which options can be quoted together and what evidence your team needs before release.
What the desk coordinates
| Service | Inputs and review output |
|---|---|
| Specification intake | Tires need size, load index, speed rating and tread use. Wheels need rim diameter and width, PCD, ET, center bore, load rating, finish and vehicle. Hub or bearing inquiries need OE cross reference, vehicle and interface details. |
| Quote comparison | Use a single line identifier per specification. Compare the supplier's currency, unit basis, pack, MOQ, Incoterm, named place and offer validity. Keep stock and custom routes separate where sample approval or tooling changes cost. |
| Sample coordination | Ask the buyer to identify the comparison sample and acceptance checks. Record the revision, tire markings or wheel dimensions with the SKU. Log any substitution as a separate decision. |
| Inspection coordination | Share sample selection, check method and acceptance criteria with the selected inspector. Preserve inspector observations separately from the supplier's paperwork and the buyer's release decision. |
| Shipment checklist | Reconcile units by SKU, carton or bundle marks, packing list and requested documents. Assign each open item to the supplier, buyer or logistics party before loading. |
How the quote moves forward
Freeze the comparison basis
Record a dated size or drawing revision, destination and approval owner. Reopen comparison if a supplier proposes a different service description.
Surface exceptions early
Place lead time, required quantity and any unconfirmed evidence next to the exact line item. A document pending review remains an open item.
Separate release from handoff
The buyer approves the product and accepts exceptions. Manufacturers, laboratories, inspectors, brokers and carriers remain responsible for their own work.
