From identification to a purchase decision

A reference tire can identify the problem even when the sidewall markings are partly worn. Keep the original request alongside any corrections so that the factory sees which points are firm and which need a response.

  1. DefineRecord the tire family, axle duty and decision owner. Establish whether a current specification sheet or the fleet fitment policy controls the request.
  2. ComparePut each response next to the requested specification. Note which cost lines the buyer must obtain separately and which exclusions make a response unworkable.
  3. ConfirmAsk for the proposed SKU and revision. Match sample markings to the agreed specification before releasing a volume order.
