Tony M Sep 12, 2010:
UK? OK! Well, on a very quick check I did using Google, 'fitment' seems mainly to be used to refer to "what type of tyre is fited to what vehicle", whereas 'fitting' seems to be used for the actual workshop operation of fitting the tyres onto the wheels.

This seems to be contrary to the sense of your source text!

I did notice in passing that 'fitment' is used in this sense of 'fitting' in South Africa!

UK Hi Tony,
No, it's British English.
Tony M Sep 11, 2010:
Right! Is this US EN by any chance? The reason I ask is that in the UK, I'm more used to seeing 'fitting' (for tyres, exhausts, etc.) rather than 'fitment'.
Maryline Pinton (asker) Sep 11, 2010:
It's about an enquiry to compare several garages: among the different items are tyre prices, fitment, MOT, servicing...
Tony M Sep 10, 2010:
fitment In retailing, a 'fitment' is often some kind of display unit — a 'meuble', unless it has other specific characteristics justifying a special name in FR (e.g. 'présentoir', etc.).

It's hard to see from the little context given if that could really apply here or not, perhaps you could explain a bit more of the context in which it occurs?

opération de montage

Since it seems that this type of 'fitment' or 'fitting' might apply to all sorts of things and not just tyres (e.g. exhausts, car radios, etc.), I suggest this might be a more general way of wording it; and I think it reads better in FR if you add something like 'opération' (I did also wonder about 'intervention'?)

Redondant, peut-être — toutefois on le vois tous les jours en français... de toute façon, comme j'ai bien indiqué avec les ( ), c'est bien facultatif.

monte pneumatique

Je doute que les véhicules soient montés dans le garage où l'acheteur se rend. Dans ce que j'ai trouvé, "fitment" concerne la monte de pneumatiques sur un véhicule, donc le type de pneus vendus d'origine. Pas le montage.

"I am often approached with the question: "Why can't I find more fitments for my muscle car or vintage automobile?"

The goal of Tire Rack is to provide products for all vehicle makes and models. However, due to the availability of the "classic" automobile/truck and the desired range of looks from vintage to heavily modified street machines, it is not feasible for Tire Rack to catalog all of these fitments. With the limited number of vintage cars now on the road and coupled with the geometric suspension changes over time, there is not a great deal of participation from the manufacturers that build wheels to match the engineering designs of the classic automobile. Thus, it places the vintage vehicle in the "custom" fitment which relies on the customer's expert knowledge and understanding of the requirements for proper fitment. "
