Tubed Tire Specification Example for Emergency Vehicles: All-Weather Version
Tubed Tire Specification Example for Emergency Vehicles: All-Weather Version
This is a worked specification for tubed tire in a all-weather 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 all-weather version version exists because the duty cycle on emergency vehicles is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually warranty claims traced back to a single lot.

How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Cast Iron, 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
- assembly line testing
- robot welding
- cold forging
- die casting
- shot blasting
- injection moulding
Where this example applies
Programmes that run all-weather version most often specify this build for emergency vehicles. Related applications include emergency vehicles, assembly programmes, light trucks, agricultural trailers, passenger cars.
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 3000 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the REACH-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. REACH 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 3000 pieces per line.
