Set the decision boundary
Record the door or body placard, installed tyre markings, wheel dimensions, load and speed ratings, cold-pressure instruction, production dates and TPMS type on the actual VIN. Compare front and rear positions and confirm whether the candidate uses one size or a staggered arrangement. Preserve the original wheel and tyre specification before pricing alternatives.
Ownership planning starts before shipment. Map the exact hardware to local workshops, diagnostics, software, tyres, body parts and high-voltage competence.
Evidence to request
Inspect tread depth and wear pattern, sidewalls, bead areas, puncture repairs, bulges, cracking, rim bends, welds, corrosion and missing fasteners. Measure cold pressure with a reliable gauge and scan TPMS warnings where applicable. Uneven wear can direct alignment, suspension or collision checks but does not identify a cause by itself.
Send the receiver a VIN record, baseline scan, accepted condition and open maintenance actions.
What can invalidate the conclusion
Larger or heavier wheels, unsuitable load rating, incorrect rolling circumference and underinflation can affect range, ride, braking, clearance, speed information and driver-assistance operation. The maximum pressure printed on a tyre sidewall is not the vehicle’s recommended operating pressure. Unknown imported brands require evidence, not assumptions based on appearance.
Resolve contradictions at source. Record the market, model year, test condition and quotation period beside any claim that depends on them.
Record the door or body placard, installed tyre markings, wheel dimensions, load and speed ratings, cold-pressure instruction, production dates and TPMS type on the actual VIN. Compare front and rear positions and confirm whether the candidate uses one size or a staggered arrangement. Preserve the original wheel and tyre specification before pricing alternatives.
For rough roads, a buyer may value sidewall protection and local availability above styling. Compare a replacement set at the correct ratings with the cost of importing rare sizes, then include alignment and calibration work when the inspection indicates it.
Confirm destination tyre availability, seasonal requirements, TPMS service, wheel-repair competence and replacement lead time before shipment. Include a compatible repair kit or spare strategy only when the exact vehicle provides safe storage and the destination rules allow it.
Turn the claim into an auditable vehicle record
Ask a destination workshop to review exact VIN information before shipping, not merely the model name. Confirm ability to isolate high voltage, identify modules, access diagnostics, service the powertrain and calibrate installed sensors. Build a first-service list using verified fluids, filters, tyres, brakes and low-voltage components, then identify version-specific parts that could immobilise the car. Record software and update limits separately from mechanical service. A practical plan also assigns responsibility for towing, battery incidents and parts procurement when dealer channels do not cover an independent import.
For this decision, assign a source, date, reviewer and refresh point to every required field. The six controls below are not complete when merely mentioned in a sales message; each needs evidence strong enough for another reviewer to reach the same conclusion.
01 Vehicle tyre placardCapture the original record and check it against the selected VIN.
02 Size and ratingsRecord the test method, result, limits and person responsible for follow-up.
03 Cold pressureState the destination consequence, cost exposure and approval status.
04 Tread and sidewallsCapture the original record and check it against the selected VIN.
05 Wheel and TPMS conditionRecord the test method, result, limits and person responsible for follow-up.
06 Destination availabilityState the destination consequence, cost exposure and approval status.
Before approval, read the file without relying on the original salesperson’s memory. Mark every unresolved item as a hold, give it an owner and deadline, and repeat affected checks when the vehicle, quotation, route or destination rule changes. This distinguishes a documented A06 candidate from a plausible but unverified listing.
Keep rejected evidence in the file with the reason it was rejected. This prevents an outdated screenshot, superseded quotation or mismatched brochure from returning later as if it were current proof, and it gives the destination receiver a clear audit trail.
Connect the result to the destination
Confirm destination tyre availability, seasonal requirements, TPMS service, wheel-repair competence and replacement lead time before shipment. Include a compatible repair kit or spare strategy only when the exact vehicle provides safe storage and the destination rules allow it.
Record the responsible party, evidence date, expiry or recheck point and the effect on cost or approval. A complete file makes remaining uncertainty visible; it does not turn an unknown into a confirmed feature.
Use the result in a buyer scenario
For rough roads, a buyer may value sidewall protection and local availability above styling. Compare a replacement set at the correct ratings with the cost of importing rare sizes, then include alignment and calibration work when the inspection indicates it.
Finish with pass, hold or reject. A hold should name the missing evidence, owner and deadline. A replacement VIN begins a new review rather than inheriting approval.

Build part availability through the ownership plan, send uneven wear or wheel repair into the used-car inspection, and test any efficiency change through the measured range method.
Questions to close before approval
Which tyre pressure should be used?
Use the vehicle manufacturer’s placard or exact manual instruction for the fitted configuration, not the sidewall maximum.
Can a different wheel size reduce range?
Wheel and tyre changes can affect efficiency and other behaviour; verify an approved specification and measure the result.
Does uneven wear prove bad alignment?
It is a prompt for measurement and inspection, not a diagnosis by itself.
