Asymmetric Tread Pattern Tire Specification Example for Municipal Fleets: Adjustable Type
Asymmetric Tread Pattern Tire Specification Example for Municipal Fleets: Adjustable Type
This is a worked specification for asymmetric tread pattern tire in a adjustable 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 adjustable type version exists because the duty cycle on municipal fleets 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 | Asymmetric Tread Pattern Tire |
|---|---|
| Application | Municipal Fleets |
| Version | Adjustable Type |
| Base material | Carbon Steel |
| Controlled dimensions | 3 key dimensions, recorded per lot |

How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Carbon 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
- cold forging
- laser cutting
- precision stamping
- sintering
- shot blasting
- heat treatment
Where this example applies
Programmes that run adjustable type most often specify this build for municipal fleets. Related applications include fleet maintenance, trailer axles, construction equipment, light trucks, delivery vans.
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
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 1000 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
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 testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. E-mark documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 1000 pieces per line.
Share a sample or a drawing and we will quote against a written specification, not against a photograph.
