   Same thing happened to my Grizzly band saw. I just ordered new tires from Grizzly and it's better than new. Very easy fix. The new tires seem to be of a more durable material than the original. There is a little lip on easch edge of the bull wheels that keep the tire in place, no adheasive needed.

   Are the replacement tires crowned like the originals?

   On mine the tires are just like big rubber bands and it's the bull wheels that have a slight crown.

   hey bones,

   i have an inca. 14", i think it is. the last time i put new tires on it, i found just how difficult this is. had to stretch, clamp and yank. no small task. i wonder why the grizz is so much easier...

   Now that you mention it I do remember struggling with the tires a bit as you discribed. Once I learned the technique on the first one, the second one took much less time, the whole process taking less than 1/2 hour. I would still consider it a realativly easy fix.
