Bias Tire Specification Example for Workshop Replacements: Low Maintenance Version
Bias Tire Specification Example for Workshop Replacements: 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 workshop replacements 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.

How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — PVC Coated Fabric, 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
- shot blasting
- surface grinding
- electroplating
- die casting
- rubber vulcanisation
Where this example applies
Programmes that run low maintenance version most often specify this build for workshop replacements. Related applications include construction equipment, three-wheelers, export programmes, passenger cars, light trucks.
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
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 1000 pieces per line.
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.
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.
How is packing specified?
Individual packing, inner box quantity and carton marking are confirmed at quotation stage so the cartons arrive ready for your warehouse.
Tell us the model, the fitment and the quantity and we will hold a production slot for you.
