How to register a new set of tires

Tires in Movcar live as separate records (independent of vehicles) so you can move them between cars, store them off-vehicle in winter/summer, and track their lifetime mileage. This guide shows how to add a new set.

Step 1 — Open Tires

From the left-hand menu, click My Fleet → Tires. You’ll see your existing tires with search, filter, Import, Export and + Add at the top-right.

Step 2 — Click “+ Add”

The new-tires form opens.

Step 3 — Fill in the required fields

Only two fields are required:

  • Tire Type * — pick from the dropdown: All-season tires, Summer tires, Winter tires, Highway tires, Spare tires, Rib tires, etc.
  • Vehicle * — which vehicle these tires belong to. (Even if they’re currently in storage, you still pick the vehicle they’re assigned to.)

Step 4 — Add the technical specs (optional but useful)

The form pre-fills common defaults so you mostly just confirm:

FieldDefaultNotes
Serial NumberIf the tires have a DOT code or stock number, log it here.
Width205In mm.
Profile height55Aspect ratio.
Rim diameter16In inches.
Energy classPick from the EU label scale (A–G).
Load index (capacity)E.g. 91 = 615 kg.
Speed indexPick from the dropdown (H, V, W, Y, etc.).

Step 5 — Purchase and warranty info (optional)

If you have the receipt:

  • Purchase date — when you bought them.
  • ManufacturerPirelli, Michelin, Continental, etc.
  • Manufacturing date — DOT code from the tire sidewall.
  • Manufacturer warranty expiration — when the warranty runs out.
  • Maximum mileage — manufacturer’s expected lifespan in km.

These power warranty-expiry reminders and let you compare actual vs expected mileage.

Step 6 — Mount now or store for later

Two checkboxes/fields at the bottom of the form decide what happens next:

  • Installed — tick this if the tires are currently fitted to the vehicle.
  • Tires position — if Installed, pick where they’re mounted (e.g. Front Left, Rear Right).

You can also leave Installed unchecked and fill in:

  • Depository address — where the tires are stored when off the vehicle (e.g. “Workshop on Karolkowa 22”).

💡 Tip — Most teams register tires first with Installed off, then go through the Mount tires flow when actually fitting them. Keeps the storage record clean.

Step 7 — Save

Top-right, click the purple Save. Or Save & Add New if you’re registering several sets in a row.

The new tires appear at the top of the list with the Installed column showing ✓ (green) or ✗ (red) at a glance.
