Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I verify that SU 10x5x6.5-SF-P is compatible with my forklift model?
A: SU 10x5x6.5-SF-P fits any electric lift truck requiring a 10.0 inch OD by 5.0 inch width by 6.5 inch bore press-on drive tire. Cross-reference your equipment using OEM part RA632-090-101 or check for equivalent cross numbers GW10X5X6.5-SF-P and R81000500651. Always verify your current wheel hub bore diameter is exactly 6.5 inches before ordering. If you have a Raymond, Superior, or Monarch model, check your original tire marking or parts manual to confirm the 10x5x6.5 size matches.
Q: What is the difference between this polyurethane tire and a rubber alternative for my warehouse?
A: SU 10x5x6.5-SF-P is an 87A polyurethane compound tire designed for moderate to heavy duty warehouse use. Polyurethane provides better load capacity retention in cold storage and offers superior shock absorption. The 87A durometer hardness resists abrasion on smooth concrete floors. Rubber alternatives offer similar traction but may degrade faster in temperature extremes or with oils and chemicals. Polyurethane does not absorb liquids, making it ideal for damp dock areas. Choose polyurethane if you need longer tire life and consistent performance; choose rubber if you prioritize economy and softer ride.
Q: Can I install SU 10x5x6.5-SF-P on a tire with a different bore diameter?
A: No. This is a press-on tire designed for a 6.5 inch bore. Installation on a hub with a different bore size will either not fit or will not seat properly, causing vibration, wobble, and tire separation during operation. Do not attempt to force-fit or modify the tire. Verify your hub bore measurement with a caliper before purchase. If your hub bore is 6.0 inches or 7.0 inches, you must order the correct size tire for that dimension.
Q: What tire pressure should I maintain for SU 10x5x6.5-SF-P?
A: SU 10x5x6.5-SF-P is a solid press-on tire and requires no air pressure. It is molded directly onto a steel core and does not use an inner tube. No inflation equipment or pressure monitoring is needed. This solid construction eliminates flat tire risk and puncture damage common with pneumatic tires.
Q: How often should I replace SU 10x5x6.5-SF-P tires in a high-use environment?
A: Tire life depends on load, hours of operation, and floor conditions. The 87A polyurethane compound typically lasts 1200 to 2500 operational hours. Inspect monthly for tread wear, cracking, and separation from the steel core. Replace the tire when tread depth falls below 1/8 inch, visible cracks appear in the polyurethane, or the tire separates from the core. High-temperature storage areas and frequent outdoor use accelerate wear. Non-marking tires may lose marking resistance and show brown or yellow residue when degradation begins; this signals replacement is needed soon.
Q: Is SU 10x5x6.5-SF-P rated for outdoor or cold storage use?
A: SU 10x5x6.5-SF-P is optimized for indoor warehouse and mild cold storage environments down to approximately minus 10 degrees Celsius. The polyurethane compound maintains adequate grip and durability in these conditions. Extended outdoor use in direct sunlight or temperatures below minus 20 degrees Celsius will cause the polyurethane to harden and may reduce traction. Do not use this tire for outdoor yard operations or extreme cold storage. For freezer and ultra-cold applications below minus 20 degrees, consult specifications for a specialized cold-temperature compound tire.
