Inquiry scope / Radial tires
Choose a starting point for your inquiry
Passenger car radial tire
Set a separate line for each approved size and service description. Ask factories whether their minimum order quantity applies by part number, by size or to a mixed shipment. A mixed order may reduce the quantity you need to buy in a slow-moving size, while a single-size release may make lot inspection easier.
