Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the specifications for the SU 9 X 5 X 5.75-FT-P polyurethane tire?
A: The SU 9 X 5 X 5.75-FT-P is a polyurethane drive tire with 9.000 inch outside diameter and 5.000 inch tread width. Outside diameter in metric is 228.60mm and width is 127.00mm. Hub diameter is 5.75 inches, making it compatible with larger axles than standard 5 inch hub models.
Q: What is the difference between the FT-P hub and other Superior 9x5 hub styles?
A: The FT-P designation indicates a larger 5.75 inch hub diameter. If your truck requires a 5 inch hub (standard), the FT-P will not fit without hub adapters. Always measure existing tire hub bore before ordering. Using an incorrect hub size causes vibration, accelerates bearing wear, and voids equipment warranties.
Q: Is the SU 9 X 5 X 5.75-FT-P press-fit or removable?
A: The FT-P model is a press-fit tire bonded directly to the steel hub. Removal requires specialized tire pressing equipment and should only be performed by qualified service technicians. This permanent fit prevents slippage under load and is standard for drive wheel applications.
Q: Which lift truck brands and models accept the SU 9 X 5 X 5.75-FT-P?
A: The 5.75 inch hub variant is less common than standard 5 inch hubs. Verify your equipment brand and model before purchase. Confirm axle diameter by measuring or consulting your lift truck operator manual. Never assume compatibility across brands or model generations.
Q: What maintenance is required for polyurethane FT-P tires?
A: Inspect monthly for cracks, chunks, or irregular wear. Keep tires clean and dry. Check axle bearings for grinding sounds or excessive play. Store equipment indoors to prevent UV degradation. Typical polyurethane tire lifespan is 3-5 years with proper care.
