Tire product entry

An entry in an ODI complaint's products array typed Tire rather than Vehicle, carrying the tire brand, line name and size designation (for example 205/55 R16) of the involved tire.

In this catalog it appears concretely: - NHTSA Vehicle Safety API — "product type of each involved product; observed values Vehicle and Tire".

A table is only as good as the column you actually need. If this field is absent, sparsely populated or defined inconsistently across rows, no amount of surrounding richness rescues the analysis, so it deserves its own line in your evaluation checklist.

The failure mode is concrete: a source can carry the Tire product entry label while differing from what you need on exactly the dimension that matters — product type of each involved product; observed values Vehicle and Tire. Comparing two sources on that line usually settles the choice faster than any feature matrix.

You rarely have to take a vendor's word for it. 82.4% of the 1,744 datasets Datadory catalogs are free to access, and NHTSA Vehicle Safety API lets you inspect the real artifact before any budget is committed.

Treat every claim of this attribute as testable:

1. Open NHTSA Vehicle Safety API and confirm its record — "product type of each involved product; observed values Vehicle and Tire" — against the files you actually receive.
2. Pin down update cadence in writing. Across this catalog, 22.6% of 1,744 datasets refresh daily and 64 still arrive only through a manual request form, so ask exactly how fresh each release is.
3. Check whether definitions are verified at all. Field definitions are verified for 1495 of 1,744 datasets (85.7%), and any source you license should meet that bar.
4. Price the delivery route before the license. In this catalog bulk download is the most common access method (725 datasets) ahead of official APIs (574), and 379 sources still require scraping — a maintenance cost that lands on you, not the vendor.
