I’ve got a several decades old 16″ Walker Turner bandsaw. It’s an old sweetie that I’ve had since the early 70s. It’s finally time to replace the badly worn tires, and I’m having trouble locating replacement tires. The wheels and tires are 1 1/4″ wide. Anybody got ideas?

Suffolk machinery sells 16" tires. Their bandsaw blades are excellent as well. Good luck!

I got new tires for my bandsaw from Suffolk a couple of months ago. The price was reasonable, the service was excellent, and the tire seem to be of excellent quality. As I said, I've only had them on my bandsaw a couple of months, but in all respects, I was very happy with Suffolk. By the way, my bandsaw is an unusual brand 70s vintage model too. (Grob 4V-18 built in 1978) and Suffolk fit it with no problem.
