China procurement desk

Maxxis supplier verification

Align the quoted tire size, service description and required market documents before releasing an order. The desk coordinates evidence review for the buyer and records unresolved discrepancies by SKU.

Prepare your RFQ

  • Vehicle, application or OE cross reference
  • Size, load index, speed rating and tread
  • Units by size, market and destination port

From brief to shipment

01

Clarify

Split each size and service description into a separate RFQ line. Record the buyer's substitution limits and named delivery point.

02

Compare

List supplier MOQ, quote validity, Incoterm and pack for each SKU. Compare stock against custom after aligning tooling and sample cost.

03

Verify

Match sample markings and the claimed document scope to the quote. Ask the buyer to accept or reject any recorded difference.

04

Coordinate

Match quantities and pack marks to the document checklist. Route any missing inspection or shipping record to its owner.

Evidence before commitment

Supplier-provided

Supplier records

Check legal entity, issuing body, production site and validity against the supplied file. An IATF or ISO management-system certificate addresses its named scope. Record applicable SKU-level product evidence separately.

Third-party

Sample check

Give the inspector the approved sample reference and check list. For tire markings, record the exact sample ID, sidewall photos and observed size, load index and speed rating. For a wheel runout check, agree the fixture, bead-seat reference, dial indicator location and buyer-approved limits in millimeters. Record radial and lateral runout separately and attach readings to the sample ID.

Buyer-approved

Document scope

Trace each report to its tested size or model, method, conditions, date and intended market. Keep proposed substitutes open until a buyer reviews any differences in test or approval scope.

Supplier-provided

Quote and pack basis

Compare landed inputs only after matching currency, Incoterm, named place, quantity per SKU and pack. If a stock offer has date-code limits, record them beside the custom option's sample and order conditions.

Third-party

Test comparison

A rolling resistance result supports comparison when test method, load, inflation and tested configuration align. Review grip or wear results on their own basis. For example, log the tested size, load, inflation, lab report reference and method in separate columns for Offer A and Offer B. A blank field is an open question for the supplier. A visual sample check answers different questions.

Buyer-approved

Release record

Identify the approving person, date and revision for each exception. Recheck approval if the order changes size, tread, construction, supplier or destination market after sample review.
