Buyer programs

Michelin Tire Sourcing by Application

Define the buying program before asking suppliers to quote. A distribution size run and an axle-specific fleet order need different evidence.

Unbranded commercial tires at a generic distribution staging area

Import distribution

Build the SKU list around the sales market and season. Record sidewall marking, document scope and quantities per size. Compare one consolidated order with split orders by size and supplier, including the added packing and freight handling.

Fleet purchasing

Separate steer, drive and trailer duties. Include axle load, load index, speed rating, duty cycle and expected road surface. When comparing low rolling resistance versus traction or tread life, request results under comparable load, pressure and methods. Road wear and laboratory measures answer different questions.

Service networks

Group by vehicle platform, approved size and load range. For dual fitments, confirm the intended service description and check rim and clearance against the applicable vehicle information. Keep alternative models on separate rows until the service team approves fitment.
