Mixed Service Tire Specification Example for Utility Trailers: Budget Line
Mixed Service Tire Specification Example for Utility Trailers: Budget Line
This is a worked specification for mixed service tire in a budget line 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 budget line version exists because the duty cycle on utility trailers is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually inconsistent hardness between lots.

How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Tempered Glass, 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
- sintering
- rubber vulcanisation
- CNC machining
- heat treatment
- cold forging
- laser cutting
Where this example applies
Programmes that run budget line most often specify this build for utility trailers. Related applications include passenger cars, long-haul trucks, construction equipment, courier fleets, racing teams.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 4.0 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
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the DOT-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
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.
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.
Tell us the model, the fitment and the quantity and we will hold a production slot for you.
