Removing Old Bandsaw Tires

jmilligan

I want to replace old cracked bandsaw tires with new urethane tires. What is the best way to remove, clean and prep the wheels for the new urethane tires? (There may be a past thread on this you can refer me to).

Thanks Tim, the thread was very helpful.

I just watched the Jacob Anderson Bandsaw DVD. I guess now the decision is whether to go with urethane tires or just replace with rubber tires. In the DVD, Jacob Anderson doesn't use glue on rubber tires. He says it isn't necessary in most cases.

It does sound like most folks are choosing to replace with urethane tires and like them.
