Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is Cushothane EZ 85A and how does it differ from standard polyurethane?
A: Cushothane EZ 85A is a proprietary polyurethane blend with 85A durometer hardness, designed for heavy-duty drive wheel applications. The EZ suffix indicates enhanced elasticity and damping properties. It absorbs shock better than standard rigid polyurethane, reduces noise, and provides improved traction on concrete floors while maintaining load capacity.
Q: Is the SU 9 X 5 X 5-SC-EZ compatible with all 9x5 wheel equipment?
A: Compatibility depends on your equipment manufacturer and design. Cross-reference the original tire part number and equipment manual. Some manufacturers recommend only OEM tires, while others allow equivalent polyurethane tires. The SC smooth crown profile is standard across most 9x5 applications. Verify axle diameter and hub width match before ordering.
Q: What is the load capacity and service life of the SU 9 X 5 X 5-SC-EZ?
A: Typical load capacity is 3500 to 5500 lbs per wheel depending on your equipment configuration. Cushothane EZ typically lasts 2000 to 4000 operating hours on 8 to 10 hour daily use in warehouse environments. Inspect for wear every 500 hours. Flat spots, cracking, or visible wear require replacement.
Q: How do I maintain the SU 9 X 5 X 5-SC-EZ to extend tire life?
A: Keep floors clean and dry to prevent slipping and premature wear. Rotate tires between drive and load positions if possible. Check tire pressure and weight distribution monthly. Clean polyurethane with water and mild soap only, never use solvents or harsh chemicals. Replace the tire immediately if you notice flat spots, sidewall cracks, or reduced grip. Store spare tires indoors away from direct sunlight.
