Questions before you request a quote
Where is the tire size?
Find the complete size marking on the sidewall and compare it with the vehicle manufacturer’s requirements.
Is load index enough?
It is one input. Axle load, inflation, speed and intended service also need review.
Can one tire suit every vehicle?
No. Fitment depends on the vehicle, dimensions, load and approved operating conditions.
What evidence should I ask for?
Identify the destination market and product family, then request relevant documents for review.
