Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does SC designation mean in SU 10 X 5 X 6.5-SC-EZ?
A: SC stands for smooth crown. This indicates the tire has a precision-molded smooth tread profile, chemically bonded to the steel core, without grooves or ribs. Smooth crown tread provides maximum contact surface for traction on dry floors and reduces steering effort compared to cross-groove designs.
Q: How does smooth crown tread perform compared to cross-groove or smooth flat?
A: Smooth crown (SC) offers a middle ground: better traction than smooth flat tread, but easier steering than cross-groove. It is ideal for mixed-use warehouse environments with both flat and slightly uneven floors. Smooth flat reduces rolling resistance; cross-groove improves lateral stability; smooth crown balances both. Choose based on your primary floor condition.
Q: What are the core material and construction details for SU 10 X 5 X 6.5-SC-EZ?
A: The tire features a steel-reinforced rim core with precision-molded smooth tread chemically bonded to the steel band. The EZ compound is Cushothane polyurethane rated 85 Shore A or equivalent. This construction provides superior durability and non-marking performance in clean, climate-controlled environments.
Q: Is SU 10 X 5 X 6.5-SC-EZ a non-marking tire?
A: Yes. Cushothane EZ polyurethane compound will not mark light-colored or epoxy-sealed floors. This makes it suitable for food processing, pharmaceutical, electronics, and other facilities where floor protection is mandatory. Verify with your flooring manufacturer that polyurethane tires are acceptable before installation.
Q: What maintenance is required for SU 10 X 5 X 6.5-SC-EZ tires to maximize lifespan?
A: Maintain smooth, level floors free of debris and oil spills. Avoid outdoor use or exposure to extreme temperatures. Inspect monthly for separation, chunking, or unusual wear patterns. Keep tire surfaces clean to prevent buildup of contaminants. Do not expose tires to direct sunlight for extended periods. Under these conditions, SC-EZ tires typically last 3 to 5 years in standard warehouse operation.
