Our role in a tire purchase

Buyer brief

The conversation starts with the size and service requirement and the job the tire needs to do. Provide a vehicle or axle reference, preferred shipment quantity and delivery location. Indicate whether this is a replenishment order, a fleet change or a new size you are qualifying.

Supplier response

We organize quote requests for potentially relevant factory options. The buyer can compare written responses for the quoted specification, the product evidence available, how the supplier packs mixed sizes and which delivery costs the offer covers. Product availability and timing remain subject to the supplier response.

Buyer decision

The buyer selects proposals for technical and commercial review. If the application differs from the supplier’s written scope, have the supplier address that gap before approval. Define what the receiving team should check on labels and markings when the shipment arrives.

Independent identity

AlloyFlow Sourcing operates separately from Toyo Tires and has no dealership authorization or affiliation. A named reference helps communicate what the buyer is researching. The proposal should identify the manufacturer and product model actually offered and document any material differences from that reference.

Evidence to request before signoff

  • A supplier product sheet that identifies the exact model, dimensions, construction, service description and application.
  • A test report or declaration with a readable scope, issuer and reference that you can match to the item. Ask which market and product classification the documentation addresses.
  • The proposed shipment and receiving documents. Check which label, size and lot information the supplier provides so warehouse staff can reconcile the order.

Use the RFQ checklist to identify what still needs confirmation. For current requirements, consult the relevant vehicle, tire and compliance documentation.
