Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the X-groove pattern on the SU 10X4X6.5-TSW-EZ-XGROOVE do?
A: The X-groove tread pattern consists of crosshatch cuts running at angles across the tire surface. These grooves improve drainage on wet or oily concrete floors by channeling liquids away from the tire contact point. X-groove tires provide better traction in slippery conditions compared to smooth flat tires and reduce the risk of slipping when turning or stopping on wet surfaces.
Q: What is the difference between smooth flat and X-groove tread profiles?
A: Smooth flat tires like the SU 10 X 4 X 65-SF-P have no tread and provide maximum contact area for low rolling resistance and energy efficiency on dry polished floors. X-groove tires sacrifice some contact area but add traction channels for wet or oily environments. Choose smooth flat for indoor dry warehouses and X-groove for facilities with potential floor moisture or outdoor use.
Q: Is the SU 10X4X6.5-TSW-EZ-XGROOVE compatible with standard 10 X 4 wheel hubs?
A: Yes. The SU 10X4X6.5-TSW-EZ-XGROOVE has the same 10 inch outer diameter, 4 inch width, and 6.5 inch bore as other standard 10 X 4 drive tires. You can swap it directly for existing 10 X 4 smooth flat tires using the same tire press equipment. No wheel hub modifications are required.
Q: What material is the steel core in the SU 10X4X6.5-TSW-EZ-XGROOVE?
A: The precision steel core is hardened and CNC-machined to exacting tolerances for hub bore fit and runout control. This steel reinforcement provides load capacity and prevents tire flex and sidewall cracking. The polyurethane compound is bonded to the steel core and cannot be separated without specialized equipment. Do not attempt repairs on the core if the tire is damaged.
Q: How long does the SU 10X4X6.5-TSW-EZ-XGROOVE last compared to smooth flat tires?
A: X-groove tires typically last 10 to 15 percent shorter than smooth flat tires because the grooves create stress points in the tread and reduce overall contact area. However, in wet or slippery environments, the safety benefit and traction control justify the slightly shorter lifespan. Replace when tread grooves are no longer visible or when sidewall damage occurs.
