Specification matrix
What to send with each sourcing line
Attach a drawing or a legible reference where possible. Label values as required, proposed or pending so the quote review can distinguish them.
| Product family | Inputs to provide | Checks before approval |
|---|---|---|
| Passenger and commercial tires | Size, load index, speed rating, axle position, single or dual service, tread needs, quantity, market and destination port. | Match the service description to the exact SKU and sidewall. For rolling resistance, compare method, pressure, load and conditioning. Check wet grip and wear separately. |
| Off-road and specialty tires | Size, casing or ply requirement, surface, load and speed cycle, heat exposure and cut risk. | Compare the proposed casing and duty envelope with the actual cycle. Highways and low-speed work sites may require different priorities. |
| Forged and cast alloy wheels | Rim diameter and width in inches, pitch circle diameter (PCD) in mm, bolt pattern, wheel offset (ET) and center bore in mm, load rating, finish, vehicle and target market. | Ask for brake clearance and radial and lateral runout methods. Compare forged and cast designs at the same size and load, including the documentation, tooling and sample costs. |
| Steel and commercial wheels | Rim profile and width, bead seat, fastener and pilot interface, axle application, load and corrosion protection. | Check seating geometry and single or dual application against the vehicle and tire references. |
| Hub assemblies and bearings | OE cross reference, vehicle or VIN reference, hub flange and bearing dimensions in mm, ABS encoder ring and wheel speed sensor interface, seal lip and hardware scope. | Confirm encoder type and orientation. An integrated hub moves bearing preload and sealing to the assembly. A serviceable bearing requires the platform's installation procedure and correct preload. |
| Wheel-end service parts | Part reference, thread diameter and pitch, seat geometry, material, finish, packaging and application. | Verify drawing revision, mating geometry and any torque or installation information from the applicable technical source. |
Evidence to request before approval
Sample identification
Record the sample label and photos, the batch or revision, and any differences from the proposed sale SKU.
Document scope
Check the rules for the product class and destination. For a U.S. tire brief, ask which FMVSS provision applies. For a UN approval claim, request the model scope and relevant approval record.
Third-party findings
Ask for the report identifier, date, method, conditions and acceptance limits. Compare reports only after checking that their methods and specimens are compatible.
Buyer decisions
Record acceptance, deviations and the approved drawing or sample revision before releasing the order.
Shipment traceability
Match supplier, SKU, batch, quantity and packaging marks to the final packing list and route any exceptions before dispatch.
