Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does SU 15X6.5X10.75-P-TSW mean?
A: SU 15X6.5X10.75-P-TSW is a poly press-on tire with the following specifications: 15 inch outer diameter, 6.5 inch width, 10.75 inch mounting center. The P indicates polyurethane material. TSW indicates tapered side wall design. This is a drive wheel tire for electric pallet jacks, not a load wheel.
Q: What are the dimensions in metric measurements?
A: SU 15X6.5X10.75-P-TSW dimensions in metric are 381.00mm diameter by 165.10mm width. Always verify these measurements against your truck documentation before ordering. Using an incorrectly sized drive tire can cause steering problems and reduce truck performance.
Q: How does the tapered side wall design affect tire performance?
A: Tapered side wall (TSW) design provides improved steering control and maneuverability compared to straight-wall tires. The taper reduces resistance when turning the truck, improving operator control and reducing strain on the steering system. This design is standard on performance-focused electric pallet jacks for high-maneuverability operations.
Q: Can I replace the SU 15X6.5X10.75-P-TSW drive tire without replacing the wheel assembly?
A: Press-on tires can be removed and replaced if your truck has a removable drive wheel assembly. The tire presses directly onto a wheel core or hub. If the tire is damaged, it must be removed and a new one pressed on. This typically requires a tire press or professional equipment. Do not attempt to replace this tire without proper tools, as damage to the hub or tire can result.
Q: What floor conditions are suitable for the SU 15X6.5X10.75-P-TSW tire?
A: Polyurethane press-on tires perform well on warehouse floors, ramps, outdoor concrete, and asphalt. They are not recommended for outdoor grass or gravel as the tire will wear rapidly and may damage the tread. The polyurethane compound provides good grip on dry and slightly wet floors. Do not use in standing water or muddy conditions.
Q: How do I know when the SU 15X6.5X10.75-P-TSW drive tire needs replacement?
A: Replace the drive tire when tread is worn smooth, showing visible wear lines or flat spots, or when chunks of material are missing. A worn drive tire reduces traction and increases stopping distance. If the truck pulls to one side with this tire installed, inspect for damage or uneven wear. Worn drive tires should be replaced immediately to prevent loss of steering control.
