Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between the SU 10.5X5X6.5-TSW-EZ and the polyurethane version?
A: The SU 10.5X5X6.5-TSW-EZ uses Cushothane EZ 85A material, which provides better grip and shock absorption than standard polyurethane. Cushothane EZ is softer (85A durometer) and works better on rough or wet floors. If your lift truck operates indoors on smooth concrete or you need maximum tire life, stick with polyurethane. Use EZ material if you need traction or are on uneven surfaces.
Q: Will the SU 10.5X5X6.5-TSW-EZ fit my three-wheel electric pallet jack?
A: Yes, if your jack has 10.5 inch diameter wheels and the hub mounting fits a 6.5 inch bolt circle. Measure your existing tire outside diameter and width first. The 5 inch width on this tire is standard for narrow-track three-wheel jacks. If your wheel hubs are damaged or the bolt circle does not match 6.5 inches, the tire will not mount safely.
Q: Can I use the SU 10.5X5X6.5-TSW-EZ on a four-wheel electric lift truck?
A: Check your truck manual for the factory-specified tire size and load rating. Four-wheel trucks often require different width or diameter tires than three-wheel models. If your manual calls for a 10.5 x 5 tire, this SKU is compatible. If your truck specifies 10.5 x 6 or wider, you must use the correct width or you risk overload and tire failure.
Q: How long does the Cushothane EZ 85A material last under normal use?
A: Cushothane EZ tires typically last 12 to 24 months under normal warehouse duty (8 to 10 hours per day on concrete). Life depends on load weight, surface type, and driving style. Rough floors, high speeds, and heavy loads shorten tire life to 12 months. Light duty and smooth floors can extend life to 24 months. Inspect the tire monthly for chunking, flat spots, or sidewall damage.
Q: What maintenance is needed for the SU 10.5X5X6.5-TSW-EZ?
A: Keep tires clean and dry. Inspect for cracks, chunks, and uneven wear every month. Do not expose to direct sunlight or oil and grease spills when not in use, as these degrade Cushothane faster than polyurethane. Rotate tires every 6 months if your truck has four wheels with the same size. Replace immediately if you see flat spots, exposed cords, or sidewall splits.
Q: Can I press-on this tire or does it require a different hub?
A: This is a press-on tire. You do not need a special hub. Use a tire press or arbor press to seat the tire onto your existing wheel hub. Do not use a hammer or impact tools, as these damage the hub bore and tire. The 6.5 inch bolt circle must be clean and undamaged before pressing. If the hub is bent or worn, replace it before installing the tire.
