Highway Tire Specification Example for Export Programmes: High Performance
Highway Tire Specification Example for Export Programmes: High Performance
This is a worked specification for highway tire in a high performance programme. It is the document we would send a buyer who asks what exactly they are getting: the material, the dimensions that are actually controlled, the finish, and the checks that happen before anything is packed.
The high performance version exists because the duty cycle on export programmes is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually reorders that did not match the approved sample.

Example specification
| Item | Highway Tire |
|---|---|
| Application | Export Programmes |
| Version | High Performance |
| Base material | Bronze |
| Controlled dimensions | 6 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.5 mm |
| Finish | powder coated |
| MOQ | 200 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 14 working days, 3 days per revision |
| Compliance | SAE J431 |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Bronze, in this example.
- List the dimensions that are actually controlled and the tolerance on each.
- Name the finish and what it has to survive.
- State the inspection level and who pays when a lot fails.

Processes involved
- ultrasonic cleaning
- CNC machining
- assembly line testing
- sintering
- electroplating
- injection moulding
Where this example applies
Programmes that run high performance most often specify this build for export programmes. Related applications include municipal fleets, utility trailers, trailer axles, rental motorcycles, aftermarket retail.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 2.5 sampling on the finished lot.
- Finish inspection under agreed lighting.
- Carton drop test on the first lot of a new packing specification.
Questions buyers ask
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 200 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
Can you match an existing sample?
Send a sample and we will reverse-engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk starts.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 200 pieces per line.
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. SAE J431 documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
