Passenger service fleets
List wheel sizes by vehicle group and capture service descriptions from the approved fitment record. Note whether one product must cover mixed seasonal use.
DUTY PROFILES / U.S. BUSINESS BUYERS
Tire applications for SpokePath Sourcing buyers
Build an inquiry around where the tire works, what it carries and how the receiving team will verify it.
Four operating profiles
Urban delivery vans
Frequent stops and full payloads make the loaded axle record important. Define the delivery window and the cost of leaving a vehicle out of rotation.
Line-haul fleets
Define steer, drive and trailer use by line. Ask for the table and conditions that apply to the planned single or dual mounting position.
Aftermarket distribution
State the opening and replenishment quantities for each SKU. Confirm lot visibility and separate shipping labels if multiple sizes share one order.
What the receiving team should be able to check
Ask bidders to confirm each row against the offered part. Hold unresolved fitment items for technical review before you release the order.
For mixed-duty fleets, ask the operations lead to confirm which routes carry the highest axle weights and which are time-sensitive. A tire intended for a different position belongs in a separate quote line. If a shipment feeds several service locations, give each receiving location its own quantity and scheduling row. A pooled order can simplify purchasing, while separate releases let each site set its own delivery window. Compare the packing and freight scope before choosing. Use the tire inquiry catalog to name the family on each line.
| Decision | Ask the supplier for | Verify at receipt |
|---|---|---|
| Vehicle group | Approved size and service description for the named application | Matching sidewall and packing identifiers |
| Truck axle | Applicable load at pressure for single or dual service | The recorded construction and lot marking |
| Warehouse split | Packing count, SKU label location and document sample | Each release contains its scheduled quantities by size |
Match the request to your duty profile
If one buyer serves several vehicle groups, mark which group needs its own quote line.
