4 Check the result

  • Is a complete, consistent snow-tire request ready?
  • Four-wheel size/type, label and snow-tire limits documented for installer confirmation
  • Record only the result you actually observed. A saved web checklist is not confirmation that a vehicle has been repaired.
  • Does the plan cover all four matching tires and leave unresolved limits with the installer?
  • Before use after installation, has the provider confirmed all four tires, the pressure target and any stricter tire limit?

Select what you actually observed. If you have only prepared the plan, record that instead.

Stop and get help if

  • Damaged tire, unreadable label or unverified wheel change
  • Mixed set, unknown size/pressure limit or fitment conflict: resolve with the tire provider first.
