Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the main difference between the SU 10 X 5 X 65-SF-P and the SU 10 X 4 X 65-SF-P?
A: The primary difference is wheel width. The SU 10 X 5 X 65-SF-P is 5 inches wide while the SU 10 X 4 X 65-SF-P is 4 inches wide. Both tires have the same 10 inch outside diameter and 6.5 inch bore. The wider tire provides better load distribution and stability on smooth floors but requires wider hub space on the truck chassis.
Q: Can I use the SU 10 X 5 X 65-SF-P to replace my current 10 X 4 tires?
A: No. Do not attempt to use a 5 inch wide tire on a 4 inch wheel hub. The wider tire will not fit properly on the hub bore and will hang over the edges, causing binding, vibration, and accelerated wear. The hub width must match the tire width specification. Verify your wheel hub width before ordering replacement tires.
Q: Does the SU 10 X 5 X 65-SF-P require different installation equipment than the 10 X 4 version?
A: Installation equipment and procedure are identical between 10 X 4 and 10 X 5 tires. Use the same tire press with 8 to 15 tons of force. However, you must have a 5 inch wide wheel hub available. The wider hub requires different wheel assemblies. Do not attempt to widen an existing 4 inch hub by grinding or machining as this compromises structural integrity and will void any equipment warranty.
Q: What are the performance advantages of the 5 inch width over the 4 inch width?
A: A 5 inch wide drive tire reduces surface pressure on smooth concrete floors by approximately 20 percent compared to a 4 inch tire. This results in lower rolling resistance, reduced heat generation, improved traction, and longer tire lifespan. Wider tires are preferred for operations with frequent starting and stopping or heavy loads on polished floors.
