Verify tire specifications against the accurate version. If any of actual tire sidewall information, plate and load requirements, or spare tire and replacement sizes relies on generic information, the conclusion cannot be trusted. Base the tire check on the actual sidewall and the vehicle plate, and confirm the load rating, speed rating, spare tire and locally available replacement sizes. Add actual tire sidewall information to the batch checklist, keep the original materials for plate and load requirements, and re-verify after any change to spare tire and replacement sizes.

Tire and vehicle identity records should go back to the specific VIN; ISO 3779:2009 defines the content and structure of the globally standardized identification number.

The tire load rating check holds only for the current configuration and VIN; re-verify after any change in model year, software or batch.
