This process works in apps: TB Sync

This article will teach you how to connect K&M Tire, powered by Tire Connect, and how many tires one K&M order can hold.

K&M Tire (the card is labeled K&M, including the warehouses people know as K&M Tire in North Carolina, Virginia, and South Carolina) connects in TB Sync powered by Tire Connect. The form loads the account fields K&M asks for on that day. Fill every field with a star. A K&M order can include more than one warehouse, up to 50 tires. A single branch is not required.

Vendor Connection, powered by Tire Connect, then Inventory, a B2B portal, a B2C widget, and the Platform API.

Each supplier uses one vendor connection. Your TB Sync plan includes a set of connections. Every connection past that set is a vendor connection add-on.

Steps

Open TB Sync → Vendors → Vendor Connection and search K&M. The card is powered by Tire Connect.
Choose the location. One K&M account per location. Click Reconnect if this shop was connected before.
Choose I already buy from them and complete the K&M account fields. Where to find this is K&M’s own link when they provide one. Open a new account only if that button is on the form.
Add the shop contact, link a Books vendor, pick a distribution center, and click Send request.
K&M reviews the account before ordering. That can take up to two weeks. Cancel until Finalized, or resubmit while Pending or Rejected.
After the connection is Active, open Inventory and search a tire size (digits, such as 2256517) or a part number. This supplier sits next to your warehouse and your other connections so the team can compare price and quantity. Then include the connection on a B2B portal (Sales Channels → the portal → Vendors & Brands), on a B2C Widget sales channel, or from an API key (Settings → Organization Settings → API Keys) with POST /v1/sync/inventory-search. Dealers and website shoppers see your distribution center name and your price. They do not see the supplier name. The API guide is the Universal API.
On an order you may use more than one K&M warehouse. The order holds up to 50 tires.
Your B2B dealers and your website shoppers see your distribution center and your sell price. They do not see K&M.
