FAQ

The EZ Roller-Spinner is rated to support 2200 lbs. per hub or 4400 lbs. per axle, however testing at a major US wheel testing firm, the wheel did not fail until a static load of 4000 lbs. was placed on each wheel.

Maximum speed allowed is 5 MPH and must be properly installed on the wheel hub.

The EZ Roller and EZ Roller Spinner outperform a steel universal wheel because our wheel and tire are molded together as one piece, making it ultimately impossible to separate the tire from the wheel. Other steel universal wheels have a separate tire that's glued on. When over stressed, the tire can literally separate and come apart. Also, the EZ Roller-Spinner is 40% less than the weight of a steel wheel so it's much easier to handle when loading onto a hub . Our EZ Roller-Spinner wheel is literally indestructible when used properly and will outlive a steel wheel.

Thermo Plastic Elastomers (TPE) are a class of copolymers that consists of materials with both thermoplastic and elastomeric properties. TPE materials show advantages typically of both rubbery and plastic materials. In short, our tire has enough rubber in it to offer superior traction and has the strength characteristics of our injection molded plastic wheel.

We recommend checking with the service department of the specific vehicle to determine how the axles will unlock, so the car can be moved safely.

Both wheels were manufactured to clear all brake calibers, including oversized Brembo brake calibers. Our fastening system is 60-degree cone seat and in most cases the vehicles OEM nuts and bolts work can securely fasten our universal wheel to the vehicle's wheel hub. There are a few exceptions when a shorter bolt must be used to avoid damaging the vehicles hub. This is due to the difference of the offset of the alloy wheel.

Lug nuts or lug bolts should be torqued to 50 lbs. The 10mm steel center prevents over torquing; therefore, no washers are required.

Insurance companies often reimburse a shop or dealership when they use the vehicles' spare, as time is involved to retrieve it and install it. We recommend discussing this with the various insurance companies to understand their policies and when they are flexible and will compensate for the time involved. Towing companies when dealing with private customers, often charge more when they mount the EZ Roller or EZ Roller-Spinner, as they prevent damage by dragging the vehicle up onto the flatbed.
