Brief and supplier comparison
Separate each size and tread line, then align currency, pack unit and Incoterm. A proposed substitute stays flagged until you approve it.
How we source
Toyo Tires Procurement Services
We translate your size list into supplier questions and collect the replies in a common format. You choose the supplier and approve the commercial and fitment decisions.
Decisions before supplier outreach
Can suppliers quote alternate tire designs?
Yes, if the buyer opens that line to alternatives. Identify which attributes are fixed and request comparable test method, load, inflation and surface conditions for any wet-grip or rolling-resistance claim.
Who determines document applicability?
We help map supplier records to the quoted SKU and market. The buyer confirms which evidence it needs, and the responsible issuer or specialist validates the document and its coverage.
When are timing and order minimums set?
Ask each supplier to confirm the MOQ by SKU and the lead-time trigger in writing. Distinguish release from an existing lot from a production slot after sample approval.
What changes when a quote is normalized
Before: two quotes, different bases
One price is per tire at the supplier gate and the other is per pack at the port. Their minimums and packing costs use different units. The lower headline price gives you little basis for a purchase decision.
After: each line has a common basis
Compare prices per tire in one currency and record the exchange date. Separate packing, inland handling and scope gaps. Hold open items for supplier confirmation before comparing landed costs.
