Bias Tire Specification Example for Assembly Programmes: Low Maintenance Version
Bias Tire Specification Example for Assembly Programmes: Low Maintenance Version
This is a worked specification for bias tire in a low maintenance version 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 low maintenance version version exists because the duty cycle on assembly programmes is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually a specification nobody had written down.
Example specification
| Item | Bias Tire |
|---|---|
| Application | Assembly Programmes |
| Version | Low Maintenance Version |
| Base material | Carbon Fibre Composite |
| Controlled dimensions | 5 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.1 mm |
| Finish | anodised |
| MOQ | 1,000 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 7 working days, 3 days per revision |
| Compliance | ECE R90 |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Carbon Fibre Composite, 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
- gravity casting
- laser cutting
- electroplating
- robot welding
- surface grinding
- injection moulding
Where this example applies
Programmes that run low maintenance version most often specify this build for assembly programmes. Related applications include workshop replacements, camper conversions, utility trailers, agricultural trailers, fleet maintenance.
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
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 7 working days, and each revision round adds about 3 days once you have seen the first piece.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 1000 pieces per line.
What happens if a lot fails inspection?
The lot is re-inspected against the golden sample, and replacement pieces ship on the next available booking at our cost.
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. ECE R90 documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
