Delta Bandsaw 28-203 tires

Came to realize when I was changing out blades the tires are extremely cracked. I took them off but now can't decide on replacements. Some are quite costly. Any one out there have any advice? thank you

Unless you plan on taking the saw off-roading, I would avoid the knobby oversized tires.

I bought urethane tires for my 14-inch Shop Fox (Grizzly G0555), but I haven't replaced the factory rubber ones yet - I clean them occasionally, but they continue to perform just fine. I've read that urethane tires last longer, are less prone to having a groove worn in them, and are easier to install. It is the "easier to install" that helped me make my decision. The video's I've seen use a clamp and stretch method that looks pretty straightforward and easy.

Get the orange urethane ones, soak them in hot water for a few minutes before installing them.

good to know I bought the correct type when I replaced mine!
