Strategy starting points
| Shop type | Scheme | Distributor and brand setup | Custom rules |
|---|---|---|---|
| Medium- or high-volume shop selling sets | Min (6 in stock) | Turn on scheduled suppliers; put program brands first | Add a modest catch-all tire rule and installation fee |
| Lower-volume or specialty shop selling one or two tires | Min (in stock) | Turn on sources that reliably supply small quantities | Add a catch-all rule that fits smaller sales |
| Margin-focused shop | Choose for local demand | Use a primary floor; add markups to premium or scarce brands | Add stronger rules where the market supports them |
| Specialty installation shop | Scheme that fits normal sourcing | Use normal distributor and brand settings | Target difficult rim sizes, aspect ratios, tire types, and run-flat tires |
