DOCUMENT CHECK / BEFORE THE ORDER
SpokePath Sourcing Specification Center
Use this worksheet to record the dimensions, loads and evidence you expect a supplier to confirm.
Dimension and service decision sheet
Put the current requirement, the proposed designation and the owner of each open decision on separate lines. The same nominal size may leave important construction or service parameters unresolved.
| Control | Baseline | Supplier response |
|---|---|---|
| Dimensions | Permitted tire size and compatible rim width range | Full size, construction and allowed rim range |
| Loads | Loaded axle weight and proposed cold inflation | Exact load table, single or dual rating, and operating limits |
| Service | Vehicle duty, speed needs and seasonal constraints | Service description, intended application and restrictions |
| Release | Order quantity by size, packing and delivery split | MOQ, production window, shipping basis and lot records |
If a supplier proposes a new pressure requirement, route it through the buyer's vehicle reviewer before assigning a comparable price line. Record who can clear the change and the date the approval is needed. In dual service, request applicable spacing and both tire and wheel limits.
Evidence checklist for an alternative tire
- Identify the subject. Match the manufacturer, part number, construction revision and markings to the written quote.
- Read the scope. Ask which application and conditions the supplied technical documentation covers. A test for another tire in the same family does not resolve this line.
- Review discrepancies. Send an unreadable or mismatched marking back for written clarification. Keep both the supplier response and the disposition.
- Plan receiving. State which labels, production identifiers and packing records the warehouse will check. Make sure the order specifies what to isolate if a lot differs from the accepted sample.
Send the items you can confirm
List unresolved dimensions or documents as open questions so they remain visible during supplier comparison.
