WHO WE ARE

About MotionQuest Sourcing

An independent purchasing service for US businesses evaluating passenger and commercial tire alternatives. We help organize the buying decision around evidence you can request and review.

OUR ROLE

Make the buyer’s decision easier to review

Mission: make scope comparable

A purchasing team should be able to explain why two proposals differ before choosing one. Our role is to help frame the request around vehicle use, order size and destination, then make any mismatch visible in the supplier’s written response.

A distributor may prefer one tire schedule to simplify replenishment; the fitment reviewer may need separate size, load index and speed rating rows for different vehicles. Keep both views in the same brief: combine delivery only after each application has its own approval record.

Vision: keep approval with the buyer

Your fitment lead decides whether an alternative may be considered. We can organize the request and flag missing evidence; the buyer and proposed manufacturer must confirm the application, test scope and commercial commitments before order.

A pilot can reveal a missing sidewall or plant record before a full release, but sample charges and a separate shipment may raise the purchase cost. Ask each supplier for its minimum order quantity and sample basis, then compare a staged release with a single order using the same destination and acceptance documents.

WORKING PRINCIPLES

How we handle incomplete information

Example handoff: when 2 suppliers quote different load indexes for 1 listed vehicle, the fitment lead resolves the designation against the vehicle specification. The purchasing team records the result beside the quotation; the logistics team can still compare packaging and delivery as separate questions.

Write assumptions down

Mark a missing axle position or tire size as a question. Keeping gaps visible helps avoid a supplier pricing a different installation than the buyer intended.

Review evidence at model level

Record the supplier’s exact model and any stated limitations next to its documents. A test statement that does not identify the proposed size stays unresolved.

Own the handoff

Separate fitment questions, document checks and freight issues. Assign each open item to the reviewer best placed to close it.
