Quote stock and custom programs on the same basis
| Check | Stock program | Custom program |
|---|---|---|
| Tire size and service | Request existing sidewall specifications, such as 225/45R18 95W, and confirm the exact SKU, approved rim and tread depth if they affect fitment or acceptance. | Specify tire size, load index, speed rating, and any label requirements before tooling or artwork review. |
| Sample review | Match the sample to the offered SKU, tread pattern and lot markings. | Agree on the approved sample and record which changes require another review. |
| Commercial basis | Confirm available quantity by size and destination port for mixed-container loading. | Ask the supplier to quote sample cost, MOQ by size, validation scope and lead time separately. |

Buyer questions / 06
Questions worth settling before a quote
Can we combine several sizes in one container?
Mixed-container loading depends on quantity by SKU, pack method and the forwarder's load plan. Ask for the proposed size mix and count by size so it can be checked against the packing list.
When does a second supplier help?
A second source can cover a missing size or spread supply risk. A single source can simplify lot and artwork control. Compare the extra inspection and consolidation work before splitting an order.
Can a lower rolling resistance result settle the tread choice?
Use a like-for-like test basis, then weigh wet grip and expected wear in the target duty cycle. A laboratory result for one size or test condition cannot settle service life across a fleet.
Who approves a substitute size or service description?
The buyer or its fitment specialist approves changes after checking the vehicle, approved rim, clearance and load. Falken coordinates document and sample requests.
