Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between the center groove tread on the SU 10X7X6.25-CG-EZ and smooth flat tread wheels?
A: The center groove tread provides improved traction and water evacuation on wet or contaminated floors compared to smooth flat tread. The groove channels fluids away from the contact patch. This makes the SU 10X7X6.25-CG-EZ better suited for damp loading docks or food processing areas. Smooth flat tires track straighter on dry floors but slip more on wet surfaces. The trade-off is that center groove tires wear slightly faster due to the reduced contact patch.
Q: Is the Cushothane EZ 85A material compatible with outdoor use and rough surfaces?
A: Cushothane EZ 85A is rated for light outdoor use and rough concrete but is not ideal for extended outdoor or high-impact applications. The material resists UV and ozone better than standard rubber but degrades in direct sunlight over time. For full outdoor operation, consider higher durometer Cushothane XL (97A) wheels instead. EZ 85A is optimized for temperature-controlled warehouses with occasional outdoor dock use.
Q: Can the SU 10X7X6.25-CG-EZ be installed on lift trucks with 10x6 width hubs?
A: No. The SU 10X7X6.25-CG-EZ is 7 inches wide and will not fit hubs or axles designed for 6-inch width wheels. Forcing a 7-inch wheel onto a 6-inch hub damages the press-on bond, causes the wheel to tilt, and creates uneven wear. Always verify your truck frame is rated for 10x7 fitment before ordering. Check the original wheel width stamped on the axle or truck nameplate.
Q: How should I test if the SU 10X7X6.25-CG-EZ center groove is worn flat and needs replacement?
A: Place a tire depth gauge or ruler into the center groove. If groove depth measures less than 0.125 inches, replace the wheel. Visual inspection alone is unreliable; worn grooves look flat but may retain minimal traction. Perform wet floor tests monthly if your facility uses water washdown. Once the groove is gone, water evacuation fails and slip accidents increase sharply.
Q: What is the temperature operating range for Cushothane EZ 85A in the SU 10X7X6.25-CG-EZ wheel?
A: Cushothane EZ 85A operates reliably from 40°F to 120°F (4°C to 49°C). Below 40°F, the material hardens and grip decreases. Above 120°F, the tire softens excessively and wear accelerates. Freezer facilities below 40°F require specialized cold-temperature compounds. Check your facility temperature range; if you operate cold storage, specify a low-temp alternative instead of standard EZ 85A.
Q: How long does a SU 10X7X6.25-CG-EZ wheel typically last in mixed indoor-outdoor dock operations?
A: Expected life is 8-16 months in heavy dock use with frequent indoor-outdoor transitions. Outdoor UV exposure hardens Cushothane EZ 85A faster than warehouse-only use. Rough dock surfaces accelerate wear compared to smooth warehouse floors. Rotate wheels between axles every 6 months to even out wear. Inspect every 3 months for deep cracks that indicate imminent failure.
