Six details that make a tire request easier to quote

Reference marking

Transcribe the entire sidewall marking. Keep the current manufacturer and part identifier in a separate reference field.

Axle position

Label steer, drive, trailer, or passenger use. For dual assemblies, add the applicable dual load requirement.

Service pattern

Note highway miles, stop-and-go cycles, or yard surfaces so suppliers can respond with a suitable tread application.

Rim fitment

Record the approved rim width and diameter. Have a fitment reviewer confirm any dimensional deviation before buying.

Order quantity

Count tires by size and delivery stage. Ask whether the minimum order applies to a size or a shipment.

Receiving point

Provide the destination ZIP code, delivery window and unloading constraints so freight quotes use the same basis.

Bring the markings you already have

Start with the markings and the job the tire has to do. Identify unanswered details in the inquiry so they can be resolved before alternatives are treated as comparable.
