Write the brief by component
Tire size & service
Enter the full size and service description. A sample entry such as 225/45R18 95W shows the format. For commercial tires, record single and dual load designations where applicable. Include tread pattern, axle position and operating conditions.
Open the specification desk →Wheel interface
For a wheel-and-tire RFQ, separate tire size from wheel diameter and width. Record pitch circle diameter (PCD), offset (ET), center bore, load rating, finish and the intended vehicle.
Open the specification desk →Wheel-end identity
Provide the OE cross reference and vehicle or VIN-derived configuration. For hubs, compare flange dimensions and ABS encoder ring type. For bearings, include bore, OD, width, seal type and kit contents.

Before you quote
Procurement questions
Yes. Mark them as separate options. For a stock program, request a lot-specific availability check and size mix. For a custom program, identify sample approval, tooling charges, minimum order by size and any schedule assumptions before you compare pricing.
Record the issuing body, model or size range, revision and target market. A site-level quality management certificate and a tire-specific test report answer different questions. Any mismatch stays open for the supplier or issuer to resolve.
Send units per size, packing dimensions if known, destination port and requested Incoterm with named place. Ask for one carton or bundle count per line so a change in the size mix can be traced to a revised loading plan.
Ask for methods and conditions behind each reported result. Shortlist against the route and load profile, and leave comparisons open where the compounds, sizes or test conditions differ.
