Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does tapered side wall (TSW) profile mean on this drive tire?
A: Tapered side wall design slopes inward from the outer edge to the hub, creating a cone shape. This profile improves traction on uneven, wet, or oily surfaces by increasing grip at the tire edge. TSW tires are ideal for outdoor use or damp warehouse environments where smooth flat tires would slip.
Q: Will the SU 10 X 4.75 X 6.5-TSW-P fit on the same wheel hub as the smooth flat SU 10 X 4.75 X 6.5-SF-P?
A: Both tires have identical OD, width, and 6.5 inch hub bore dimensions, so yes, the TSW will press onto the same hub assembly as the SF model. However, the tapered profile means the tire footprint and ride feel differ. Verify your lift truck is suitable for TSW profiles before swapping, as some equipment is optimized for flat tires only.
Q: What are the advantages and disadvantages of tapered side wall versus smooth flat?
A: TSW advantages: better grip on wet, oily, or irregular surfaces; quieter on rough floors. TSW disadvantages: slightly higher rolling resistance, which may reduce speed or increase motor load; steeper learning curve for operators switching from flat tires. Smooth flat advantages: lower rolling resistance, faster speeds. Smooth flat disadvantages: poor traction on slick surfaces, more prone to slipping.
Q: How do I check if the SU 10 X 4.75 X 6.5-TSW-P is properly installed?
A: After pressing the tire onto the hub, spin the wheel by hand. The tire should run straight and true with no wobble or lateral runout. Visually inspect the tapered sides to confirm they are symmetrical and not pinched or twisted. If the tire is off-center or wobbles, remove it and reinstall; it may be misaligned on the hub.
Q: Does the tapered side wall profile affect the maximum load rating?
A: The TSW profile does not change maximum load capacity compared to a smooth flat tire of the same dimensions. However, TSW tires may distribute load slightly differently due to the angled sides. Always consult your lift truck manual for maximum load limits; TSW does not increase capacity.
Q: When should I replace the SU 10 X 4.75 X 6.5-TSW-P, and how long does it typically last?
A: Replace the tire if it measures below 9.8 inches OD, shows visible cracks, splits, or chunks missing, or if the tapered profile flattens unevenly. Typical lifespan is 1500 to 4000 operating hours on damp or rough floors. Inspect every 500 hours in high-use environments. Store off-truck in a cool, dry place to extend shelf life.
