Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does TSW-P-EZ mean on this tire SKU?
A: TSW means Tapered Side Wall, which helps the tire fit snugly on conical hubs and improves stability during turns. P means polyurethane material. EZ indicates a softer compound (85A durometer) for better grip than standard polyurethane. This combination gives you the durability of polyurethane with enhanced traction compared to standard poly tires.
Q: Is the SU 10.5X5X6.5-TSW-P-EZ compatible with hubs designed for straight-wall tires?
A: No. Tapered Side Wall tires are designed for conical hubs. If you install a TSW tire on a straight-wall hub, it will not seal properly, may slip under load, and can separate during operation. Check your hub type before ordering. If your hub is straight-wall, you need a tire with a straight profile, not TSW.
Q: Can the SU 10.5X5X6.5-TSW-P-EZ replace a tire marked as polyurethane 85A?
A: Yes, if the hub type, bolt circle (6.5 inches), and tire width (5 inches) match. Cross-reference the old part number with your supplier to confirm compatibility. If the old tire had a straight profile and this one is tapered, verify that your hub is conical before purchasing. Installation on the wrong hub type will cause operational failure.
Q: What load capacity does this tire handle?
A: Load capacity depends on how many tires support the truck and the truck chassis design. A single tire typically handles 800 to 1200 pounds. Do not assume load rating without checking the truck manual or the tire manufacturer datasheet. Exceeding the rated load causes flat spots, chunking, and sidewall failure within days.
Q: How does the SU 10.5X5X6.5-TSW-P-EZ perform on oil and grease spills?
A: Polyurethane tires are resistant to oil and grease better than rubber compounds. However, prolonged contact with harsh chemicals can still degrade the material over time. Wipe down tires if they contact spills. Store tires away from direct contact with fuel, solvents, and industrial cleaners. A tire soaked in oil may lose grip and durability within weeks.
