Tubed Tire Specification Example for Fleet Maintenance: Upgraded Version
Tubed Tire Specification Example for Fleet Maintenance: Upgraded Version
This is a worked specification for tubed tire in a upgraded 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 upgraded version version exists because the duty cycle on fleet maintenance 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 — Zinc Plated Steel, 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

- rubber vulcanisation
- electroplating
- heat treatment
- precision stamping
- gravity casting
Where this example applies
Programmes that run upgraded version most often specify this build for fleet maintenance. Related applications include aftermarket retail, boat trailers, camper conversions, utility trailers, rental motorcycles.
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
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.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 500 pieces per line.
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.
Share a sample or a drawing and we will quote against a written specification, not against a photograph.
