Mixed Service Tire Specification Example for Light Trucks: Fixed Type
Mixed Service Tire Specification Example for Light Trucks: Fixed Type
This is a worked specification for mixed service tire in a fixed type 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 fixed type version exists because the duty cycle on light trucks is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually packing that arrived crushed at the port.
Example specification
| Item | Mixed Service Tire |
|---|---|
| Application | Light Trucks |
| Version | Fixed Type |
| Base material | Forged Aluminium |
| Controlled dimensions | 6 key dimensions, recorded per lot |
| Tolerance band | ±0.05 mm |
| Finish | as machined |
| MOQ | 3,000 pieces per specification |
| Sampling | 7 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 — Forged Aluminium, 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
- injection moulding
- electroplating
- surface grinding
- laser cutting
- shot blasting
- CNC machining
Where this example applies
Programmes that run fixed type most often specify this build for light trucks. Related applications include construction equipment, long-haul trucks, rental motorcycles, export programmes, municipal fleets.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 1.5 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 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 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.
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the SAE J431-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 3000 pieces per line.
