I have replaced Bandsaw Tires on three of the six Bandsaws I have owned. One I used the blue max previously mentioned and had no problems. The other two I have replaced with the original type rubber tires. I have a set of Shopsmith orange urethane tire sitting in the bag still that I have decided not to use having read the problems others have had with them in previous threads about this subject. I don't think they are even worth giving to anyone because of the problems they have had.

To everyone, thanks for the input. I've ordered the Bluemax ones from Amazon.
