What goes on the size list
| Size | Copy the complete sidewall designation, including any reinforced or run-flat requirement. |
|---|---|
| Load and speed | Keep the load index and speed rating together. Matching the nominal size alone can leave a service description mismatch. |
| Market and tread | Record the sales market, season, tread preference and required labeling evidence for that SKU. |
| Fitment | State vehicle and rim specification alongside tire size and load range. |
|---|---|
| Loading | Identify single or dual fitment and the corresponding load requirement. |
| Duty | Describe payload, road surface and expected highway versus unsealed-road use. |
| Axle position | Split steer, drive and trailer requests before listing accepted tread patterns. |
|---|---|
| Service description | Provide size, load index, speed rating, axle load and operating conditions. |
| Order mix | Provide units per line, destination port and whether split shipments are acceptable. |
03 / Procurement sequence
From size list to decision
- 01
Freeze the brief
Clarify substitution rules before sourcing. Keep alternatives on separate quote rows.
- 02
Compare quote lines
Record supplier, model, quantity basis, packing and named Incoterm place in each row. Mark missing fields for clarification.

04 / Buyer types
Start with the buying program
05 / Evidence
Evidence before commitment
Supplier records
Confirm the quoting entity and manufacturing site. A management-system certificate describes the listed site and scope.
Sample check
Compare the sample sidewall and tread against the quote, and record the supplier model and sample identification.
Document scope
Match any product report to the exact model, service description, test method and destination requirements.
Inspection scope
Agree lot identification, sampling and acceptance criteria with the buyer and independent inspection provider.
Packaging review
Confirm unit counts, labeling and any restrictions on nesting before comparing the load plan.
Buyer approval
Record exceptions and open documents on the same quote revision before authorizing an order.
06 / Questions
Before you request a quote
Yes. Add axle or vehicle duty, destination market and required service description before treating options as comparable. A line such as 225/45R18 95W states the size, load index and speed rating together. It still needs the vehicle and market context.
Submit quantity by size and identify which lines can ship separately. Feasibility depends on supplier minimums, packaging restrictions, axle weight planning and consolidation arrangements.
Request written confirmation for the exact SKU, quantity and quotation revision. Sample approval, inspection scheduling and transport booking can affect the window.
