Independent China procurement
Send your sizes, load and speed ratings, and destination. We help B2B buyers compare supplier quotations against the same brief.
01 / Catalog
For passenger and fleet replenishment, build one line per size and service description. A brief such as 225/45R18 95W is an example of input format. Confirm reinforcement marking, tread preference, required labels and quantity separately.
View tire sourcing catalogList replacement sizes, season and any sidewall marking you require.
State the vehicle duty, load range and expected road surface.
Separate steer, drive and trailer positions in the RFQ.
02 / Specification intake
| Sidewall designation | Record the complete size, load index and speed rating from the specification or legible sidewall photo. |
|---|---|
| Application | Give vehicle and axle position. If wheels are included, send rim width, diameter, PCD, offset, center bore and load rating. |
| Duty cycle | Separate urban, highway and mixed-surface routes. For commercial tires, specify single or dual installation. |
|---|---|
| Tread priorities | Rank wet grip, wear life and rolling resistance for the route. Compare data produced under equivalent test conditions. |
| Destination | Give the sales market, destination port and preferred Incoterm with its named place. |
|---|---|
| Quantity split | Enter units by size and tread. Ask each supplier to identify order minimums and quote validity at the SKU level. |
03 / Sourcing sequence
Separate fixed fitment and market requirements from preferences suppliers can propose alternatives for.
Put quantities, packing units, currencies and named Incoterm points on a common quote sheet.
Match sample markings and document identifiers to the quoted size and model before buyer sign-off.
Reconcile the packing list against approved SKU quantities. The supplier and forwarder confirm release and carriage.

05 / Before ordering
Send quantities by SKU and packing format. We compare a consolidated order with separate supplier lots, including handling and how rejected lines affect the load plan.
Ask for the existing SKU and label in the stock offer. A custom offer should separate sample approval, tooling or artwork where relevant, and the production release point. Confirm availability and timing on the actual quotation.
A system certificate describes a named organization and scope. Check product evidence against the exact tire model, size family and sales market before accepting an offer.
Record the difference as an exception. Have the buyer's fitment reviewer check load, speed rating and intended use before the alternate enters the comparison.
Start with the application and your must-match lines. We can flag missing inputs before the brief reaches suppliers.
