Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the EZ compound designation mean for tire SU 10 X 5 X 6.5 EZ?
A: EZ refers to Cushothane EZ, a proprietary polyurethane elastomer rated 85 Shore A durometer. This compound offers superior wear resistance, non-marking characteristics, and lower rolling resistance compared to natural rubber. EZ tires are ideal for food processing, pharmaceutical, and clean-room environments where non-marking is mandatory.
Q: What are the dimensions of SU 10 X 5 X 6.5 EZ?
A: Outside diameter is 10.000 inches (254.00 mm). Width is 5.000 inches (127.00 mm). Hub bore is 6.5 inches. This is a bigger tire profile than the 4.75 inch width variant, offering improved load distribution and smoother operation on rough floors.
Q: Is SU 10 X 5 X 6.5 EZ compatible with my current hub assembly?
A: Only if your existing hubs are 6.5 inch bore diameter and rated for polyurethane press-on tires. The tire width of 5 inches is 0.25 inch wider than the 4.75 inch variant. Verify current hub configuration and equipment rating before substitution. If unsure, have your equipment inspected by a technician.
Q: What load rating and speed rating applies to EZ 85 Shore A tires?
A: Polyurethane EZ tires in 10 x 5 size typically carry 3000 to 3500 pounds at 4 to 8 mph depending on hub design and truck configuration. Hardness of 85 Shore A provides optimal balance of wear resistance and shock absorption. Consult Superior Tire specifications or your truck documentation for exact load limits.
Q: Why should I choose EZ compound over natural rubber?
A: EZ polyurethane will not mark floors, resists oils and chemicals better than rubber, and lasts 2 to 3 times longer in high-use environments. However, polyurethane costs more upfront and requires smooth, level floors. If marking is acceptable and cost is primary concern, rubber tires are adequate. If facility cleanliness or floor protection is critical, choose EZ.
