Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the cross-reference part numbers for the SU 13X4.5X8-FT-P?
A: The SU 13X4.5X8-FT-P is cross-referenced as 13458, 079494-344-01, SU13 X 4.5 X 8, SU13X4.5X8, 13X4.5X8, and 13x4-1/2x8. Always verify the exact OEM part number for your truck model before purchasing, as some cross-references may apply to specific serial ranges.
Q: Is the SU 13X4.5X8-FT-P a marking or non-marking tire?
A: The SU 13X4.5X8-FT-P is a non-marking polyurethane tire with a non-marking compound. This means it will not leave black marks or residue on finished floors. It is suitable for food processing, electronics manufacturing, and retail environments where floor cleanliness is critical.
Q: What is the construction of the SU 13X4.5X8-FT-P base?
A: The SU 13X4.5X8-FT-P has a steel-reinforced base ring core. This reinforcement provides structural integrity for the polyurethane tread and ensures stable load transfer during use. Do not attempt to remove or cut the base ring, as this will compromise tire safety.
Q: Can I replace a damaged SU 13X4.5X8-FT-P without removing the hub wheel?
A: If the hub wheel is not damaged, yes. Press-on tires can be removed and replaced while the core wheel remains on the truck. Use a tire spreader or bead breaker to carefully remove the old tire, then stretch the new SU 13X4.5X8-FT-P over the hub. No special tools are required beyond the spreader.
Q: What load capacity should I expect from the SU 13X4.5X8-FT-P?
A: Load capacity depends on your truck configuration and number of tires, not the tire model alone. Always refer to your truck manufacturer load rating plate. The SU 13X4.5X8-FT-P is designed for electric lift truck applications; overloading will shorten tire life and create safety hazards.
Q: How do I know when to replace the SU 13X4.5X8-FT-P?
A: Replace when you see visible tread wear, cracks in the polyurethane, uneven wear patterns, or if the tire will not seat properly on the rim. A worn tire will feel soft or spongy when pressed with your thumb. If the tire begins to separate from the base ring, it must be replaced immediately.
