Hi all.

Just spent some time doing my least favourite task: Adding wheels and wheel assemblies
to inventory. Im wondering if it might be easier to separate all the wheels and
tyres and sell them that waY, as I find all the different combinations so difficult
to work with! What do other sellers do? Is there a better way that I have not
yet thought of?
Many thanks
Debbie

Tyres? Ah... tires!


I think it's better to sell them separately, this way buyer has the choice
to put any tire on the wheel, as there can be multiple assemblies. IMO.

If I can take them apart safely, then I sell them separately.

I just did this task too. Anything I can separate I do. Do you have the printable
tire identification chart? I got a copy from someone here about 4 years ago.
Haven't been able to find it since. Would love to print (and save this
time) as mine is getting a little worn out.

I believe it’s Jennnifer that made the awesome tire identification chart - maybe
she’ll see this post in the forum and repost it? Or you could try sending her
a message.

The first one is the one I was looking for. THANK YOU!!!

Its great because when printed on a standard printer page you can just lay the
tire on the picture for size and width comparison. I added several of the 'additional
notes' from the catalog entry to the pictures as well to identify variants.

I highly recommend this chart for every person identifying tires.

Glad you found a copy! I really need to update that guide for everyone. It's
out of date.

to inventory....

I have always liked the option to use assemblies where it makes sense to do so.
One example is where a specific tire and wheel combo only exists as one exact
example or one color combination. There are very few of those, I think.

After spending time identifying wheels and tires, it can save you a ton of headaches
in the future if you LABEL THEM with the part numbers.

How are you supposed to LABEL tires from a used lot you haven't identified
yet?
