Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will the SU 10.5x6x6.5-TSW-P fit in place of a 10.5 x 5 tire on my lift truck?
A: No. The 6 inch width is 1 inch wider than a 5 inch tire. If your wheel spacing does not allow 6 inch width, the tire will bind against the frame, fork, or wheel guard. Measure your wheel well clearance before ordering. If you need to upgrade from 5 to 6 inch width, check with the truck manufacturer to confirm the frame can accommodate it.
Q: What advantage does the 6 inch width provide over a 5 inch tire?
A: A 6 inch width distributes load over a wider footprint, which reduces puncture risk and improves stability during turning, especially on uneven floors. The wider contact patch also lowers rolling resistance, requiring less motor effort. If your truck chassis allows it, the 6 inch width is beneficial for heavy-load or high-speed operations.
Q: Is the SU 10.5x6x6.5-TSW-P equivalent to any other brand tire?
A: Equivalent tires include Yale YL-582031598 and Hyster 005082563, both 10.5 x 6 polyurethane TSW tires. Always verify the hub bolt circle (6.5 inches) and tapered profile match before substituting. Cross-reference the part number with your distributor to confirm exact compatibility.
Q: Can this tire be installed without a press, or does it require special tools?
A: Press-on tires like this one require a tire press, arbor press, or shop press to seat onto the hub. Do not attempt to install by hand or with a hammer. A hydraulic press at 5 to 10 tons of force is typical. If you do not have a press, contact a tire specialist or the equipment manufacturer for installation. Improper installation risks tire damage and hub damage.
Q: How often should the SU 10.5x6x6.5-TSW-P be inspected for replacement?
A: Inspect monthly for wear, cracking, and chunking. Rotate every 6 months on four-wheel trucks. Replace when the tread wears thin, the tire sits flat on one side, or chunks are visible. Polyurethane tires typically last 18 to 30 months depending on load, speed, and floor condition. Do not wait for complete failure, as a blowout can strand your truck or damage the motor.
