Set the decision boundary
Match tyres and wheels to the identified version, inspect impact and wear evidence, and confirm destination replacements before export.
Write down the destination country and port, intended registration class, steering-side requirement, charging environment, passenger and route needs, accepted drivetrain or range version, condition, budget and delivery point. A changed candidate or destination can invalidate earlier conclusions.
Official current configurations list different tyre sizes by drivetrain and edition. Read the door label and sidewalls on the candidate, then verify wheel dimensions, load and speed ratings, TPMS operation and local replacement supply.
Verify the complete rolling assembly
Record every tyre’s size, maker, model, date code, load and speed rating, pressure, tread and damage. Check wheel runout, alignment clues and TPMS warnings, then price an equivalent destination set.
Official context: Review Fangchengbao’s current Tai 3 product information, then match it to the selected vehicle’s build date and labels.
Safety context: Use NHTSA TireWise for pressure, damage and TPMS principles, while the candidate’s label and destination rules determine the approved specification.
Continue the evidence path: Confirm the candidate version through the specification guide, connect impact clues to the full inspection, and use the parts-planning route to verify destination replacements.
Connect every claim to one vehicle
Plan destination service before purchase. Confirm workshop diagnostics, tyres, brakes, glass, body panels, 12V equipment, traction-battery cooling, charging cables and likely part lead times.
Preserve original-language records alongside translations. Dated photographs, diagnostic reports, charging results, inspection findings, quotation and contract should identify the same VIN. If records conflict, stop approval and resolve the difference at source.
Public specifications help frame questions but do not allocate stock or certify an individual car. Official Fangchengbao pages also warn that published configuration may differ from vehicles sold. Production date, physical labels and the sales record remain decisive.
Minimum evidence register
| Checkpoint | Acceptable record | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| VIN and original vehicle identity | Original record and clear VIN-linked media | Establishes the exact product being valued |
| production date and exact version | Dated test with method, result and limits | Establishes the exact product being valued |
| battery and motor labels | Named party, cost or approval in writing | Establishes the exact product being valued |
| installed charging inlet and test | Original record and clear VIN-linked media | Controls condition and destination-use risk |
| structural and underbody condition | Dated test with method, result and limits | Controls condition and destination-use risk |
| diagnostics and warning history | Named party, cost or approval in writing | Controls condition and destination-use risk |
| tyres, brakes and suspension | Original record and clear VIN-linked media | Controls condition and destination-use risk |
| seller, contract and beneficiary | Dated test with method, result and limits | Controls payment, export and arrival risk |
| destination approval and landed boundary | Named party, cost or approval in writing | Controls payment, export and arrival risk |
Use a red/amber/green status with an owner and expiry date. Green means supported by current evidence, not guaranteed forever. Amber items need a priced consequence or condition before payment; red items stop the transaction.
Claims that commonly fail
Watch for copied trim names, another market’s brochure, range figures from a different test cycle, an inlet inferred from the badge, diagnostic screenshots without VIN, edited walk-around videos, excluded export work, and connected features assumed to operate overseas.
Do not convert missing evidence into a positive claim. Record what is unknown, who must prove it and what happens if it remains unresolved. Price uncertainty separately from confirmed defects so a buyer can compare candidates consistently.
Destination boundary
China-side inspection and export work cannot guarantee destination tax, conformity, registration, public charging, app access, warranty, insurance or future software service. Obtain local advice before a deposit and refresh it whenever vehicle, route or rules change.
Carry the decision to handover
Keep the accepted VIN, specification, condition and included work on the quotation, contract, invoice, export documents and loading record. Before carrier handover, record odometer, state of charge, keys, cables, accessories, faults and all exterior panels.
Verify the contract entity and beneficiary independently. Any changed bank instruction, vehicle, exporter, freight route, delivery term or price reopens approval. Preserve the final evidence pack after delivery for registration, service and dispute handling.

Request a Tai 3Buyer questions
Which tyre specification should an imported Tai 3 use?
Start with the selected vehicle’s label and original records, then confirm size, load and speed rating, wheel fit and destination rules. Do not copy a tyre size from another drivetrain or edition.
Does the Tai 3 TPMS replace manual pressure checks?
No. A warning system is not a substitute for checking cold pressure, tread, sidewalls, date codes, valves and impact damage with appropriate tools.
What wheel evidence matters before export?
Record wheel dimensions, cracks, bends, repairs, runout, corrosion and fastening condition. Connect uneven tyre wear or steering vibration to alignment, suspension and impact inspection.
