Project milestones

From size list to release

  1. 01

    Establish the quote basis

    Mark fixed requirements and substitutions separately. Put any unknown load index, speed rating or destination-market constraint on the open-item list.

  2. 02

    Review the sample and documents

    Compare supplier item codes with sample sidewall photographs, test report scope and the lot identifiers planned for inspection.

  3. 03

    Confirm the shipment handoff

    Match quantities by size to the packing list. Record the named trade term, shipment documents and the party responsible for each handoff.

Buyer applications

Start with the buying program

Evidence matrix

Evidence Before Commitment

Supplier Records

Match the offered item code, product description and stated production location to the quotation and scope of the supplied records.

Sample Check

Use sidewall images and the agreed inspection sheet to confirm the tire size, service description, tread and identifiers.

Document Scope

Record issuer, document number, model coverage and destination. A quality-system certificate and a product report answer different questions.

Third-Party Inspection

Define the lot, sample selection, test method and reporting party before requesting inspection.

Buyer Sign-Off

Record accepted deviations against a dated specification and keep unapproved alternatives separate.

Shipment Checklist

Reconcile product codes and counts with the supplier packing list before the freight handoff.

Sourcing questions

Clarify the variables before quoting

Product choices

How do I compare a stock and a custom tire offer?

Compare a supplier-confirmed stock line against your required tread and service description. A custom program can target a narrower specification, with sample approval, production scheduling and SKU-specific order minimums to confirm.

How should I weigh rolling resistance against grip and wear?

Agree on the intended route and load, then request comparable methods and test conditions. A rolling-resistance figure on its own cannot settle wet grip or tread-life trade-offs across applications.

Evidence and shipment

Can a supplier certificate cover my entire order?

Check each SKU, report revision, market and claim. A supplier management-system certificate does not establish approval for every tire listed in a mixed order.

Can several suppliers fill one mixed order?

A single supplier simplifies change control. A multi-supplier plan may cover more sizes, but adds lot tracking, packing-list reconciliation and timing dependencies at consolidation.
