Fleet tire procurement

Fleet Tire Buying Is Procurement, Not Shopping

Build repeatable tire purchasing around cost per mile, tire standardization, casing value, roadside events, invoice review, and supplier comparison.

Annual tire spend changes the buying process.

As fleet size grows, tire buying moves from emergency replacement to procurement discipline.
