The right PCR order mirrors the vehicles and buying power in the destination market
Passenger-car radial inventory can spread across many rim diameters, profiles, load and speed markings and pattern types. A broad list may look impressive while tying up cash in slow sizes. Importers need a controlled range built from registration mix, fitment-centre demand, season and price tier.
The Thai Tire catalogue includes passenger, SUV and light-truck references. Website listings are product references; current wholesale availability and destination suitability must be confirmed.
Reviewed 2026-08-26 · For wholesale planning; final specifications and import requirements must be confirmed for each order.
Build a core, growth and specialist range
Start with historic sales by exact size and vehicle segment. Core lines deserve deeper stock. Growth lines serve expanding SUV, pickup or light-commercial segments. Specialist UHP, winter, mud-terrain or uncommon fitments need more cautious quantities unless customers are committed.
Separate passenger, SUV and LT/commercial construction needs. Similar dimensions do not make products interchangeable. Record the required load and speed markings and any reinforced or XL requirement.
Control the exact product specification
For each SKU, confirm size, load index, speed symbol, construction, pattern, season or terrain category, tubeless status and applicable label or certification requirement. Destination climate and regulations may change what is saleable.
Agree brand, pattern and substitution rules. A substitute with the same size can occupy a different price tier or carry different technical markings. Require written buyer approval before change.

Exact size, load/speed, construction, pattern and compliance evidence.
Inventory
Sales velocity, margin, reorder time and safety stock.
Container
SKU minimums, nesting, dimensions, weight and receiving plan.
Balance assortment against container efficiency
PCR tyres can often be nested, but the ratio varies by size and product. Ask for a loading plan based on the final lines. More SKUs can reduce density and increase counting complexity, yet a narrower container may create stock-outs. Choose the mix from expected gross margin and sell-through, not the lowest unit price.
Label groups clearly for receiving. Reconcile exact quantities and markings at unloading before dispatching stock to branches or dealers.
Request a passenger tyre wholesale quote
Send the size list in a spreadsheet or clear message with quantity per line, target tier, acceptable brands, destination and required documents. Add whether substitutions or mixed patterns are allowed. Browse passenger car tyre references and include product links where relevant.
Frequently asked questions
Can passenger and light-truck tyres be mixed in one order?
Potentially, but construction, market demand, supplier minimums, loading plan and destination requirements must be managed by exact SKU.
What is the best tyre size to import?
There is no universal best size. Use local vehicle and fitment sales data, margin, lead time and committed customer demand.
Are website product listings guaranteed stock?
No. Request a current quotation that identifies stock, production or sourcing status for each item.
Send a quote request that can be priced properly
Include your tyre sizes, quantities, preferred brands or quality tier, destination port and target timing. Thai Tire can then confirm current availability, a practical size mix and the next export step.
