If your shop handles tire orders, you know that split fitment vehicles can turn a straightforward sale into a headache. Different sizes for the front and rear axles mean double the lookups, double the phone calls, and double the chance of ordering the wrong thing. PartsTech takes the complexity out of split fitment orders and makes tire sourcing as fast as any other part in your shop.
What Makes Split Fitment So Frustrating
Split fitment is common on performance cars, sports sedans, and many newer SUVs. The front tires are a different size than the rears, and in some cases the wheels are different widths too. For shops sourcing tires the traditional way. calling suppliers or flipping between websites. this doubles the work. You need availability and pricing for two different tire sizes, ideally from the same brand and product line, and you need it fast before the customer walks out the door.
Most tire ordering tools were not built with this in mind. But PartsTech was.
One Search, Both Fitments
PartsTech's Tire Finder handles split fitment automatically. Enter the vehicle information and the platform recognizes when front and rear tire sizes differ, presenting options for both in a single search. You can compare across 50+ tire suppliers and see pricing, availability, and delivery options side by side.

For shops looking to improve their sales process and keep operations running smoothly, this kind of built-in sales tool is a genuine advantage.
