Although it has generally been the replacement parts providers and garages, that have been the main beneficiaries of the parts data held by parts information data provider TecDoc, the latest group to be able to take advantage of the system is the tyre industry.

Whilst individual tyre manufacturers provide tyre centres with catalogues for their particular brands, the problem for the fitter is to efficiently identify the original equipment (OE) tyre fitment for a specific vehicle, irrespective of the brand that will ultimately be selected and fitted.

TecDoc Web Shop users can enter the vehicle make, model and year through their terminal and the precise specification of the tyre - including the size and speed rating - will be displayed alongside a choice of manufacturers that supply tyres of that size and specification.

Shaun Greasley, commercial director of TecDoc UK and Ireland said: “With the launch of TecDoc Tyredata, we are convinced that Web Shop users will immediately benefit from the advantages that the system provides them, particularly as the data covers car, LCV and commercial vehicle applications.
