SS Band Saw Tire Replacement

Post by gatheringsplinters »

Greetings!

I have another question that I hope you guys can give some advice on. Should both of the band saw's tires be replaced at the same time?

I would BUT I have no argument against any opposing view. It's just my way.

I've never done just one tire because in all of my cases both needed it. I guess if a tire were damaged I might think about just fixing it ie replacing it, that case is different then just old age and wear and tear.

If changing from the old black to the blue or orange I would think both should be done at the same time. I have yet to move to the new type tires and not sure if I want to, well when the time comes for new tires I will have to make up my mind I guess.

I have certainly heard NOTHING about the new tires that makes me want to do a switch.
