What to include
Turn a size list into a brief
Product definition
- Sidewall and use
- Send the full size, load index, speed rating, tread pattern or season, and the vehicle or route duty. A size such as 225/45R18 is an example of the format.
- Alternatives
- State which fields are fixed. For alternatives, compare wet grip, rolling resistance and wear evidence under comparable test conditions.
Commercial definition
- Quantity by SKU
- Separate trial quantities from replenishment. Ask each supplier to state its minimum by SKU and its rules for mixed orders.
- Market and shipment
- Give the selling market and destination port. Ask for the Incoterm, named place and packing dimensions in each offer.

Questions before the first quote
Specifications
Can I start with a size and a photo?
Yes. Include the complete sidewall and vehicle or application. Record load index, speed rating and tread as open fields if the markings are unclear.
Can an alternative tread be compared?
List the intended duty and evidence required. Lower rolling resistance may matter on highway routes, while grip and wear may carry more weight on mixed routes. Compare the method, tire size, inflation and load before ranking the reports.
Orders and evidence
Can several sizes ship together?
Ask each supplier to confirm the MOQ per size and its packing plan. The forwarder should confirm loading feasibility after carton counts and dimensions are available.
Can I request compliance records?
State the destination market and specific product line. Ask for applicable declarations, approvals or reports tied to the supplier and SKU. For each record, keep the issuer, report identifier, issue date and the exact tire designation it covers.
