For those not into reading long reviews I will let you know that I recommend these tires. If you’re in the market to replace your bandsaw tires then don’t hesitate to buy these!I put these tires on a Ridgid bandsaw model 14002 replacing the original tires. The Ridgid 14002 wheel measure just over 13.5” and these tires still fit really snug. On the first tire I needed a couple clamps and a screwdriver to install. It was a little difficult even with some minor pre-stretching but with the clamps really tight I was able to get it on. For the bottom wheel I used the clamps but no screwdriver. I used the wooden dowel trick to seat the tires fully within the wheel.Upon first inspection you can see the seam lines where they welded the seam together and in those spots it felt a little thin. As with the factory tires I was expecting to have to sand the tires in order to balance them. However, after tensioning the blade and starting the saw up for the first time I was simply impressed! Instantly I was able to notice a vibration reduction and there was no need to sand the tires down. My saw is still slightly out of balance but changing out the drive belt and some more minor balancing of the wheel and this should all but be ancient history. Without that, these tires are still great enough that the vibration is now tolerable and my blade has a lot less “natural” flutter. I generally wait to write my reviews to see how a product holds up but I can tell already these tires are built to last and the fact there was no sanding needed and the smoothness they bring to the blade warrants an immediate review. I literally just installed these tires and tuned my blade.I’ve seen videos where the tires are put on with the wheels still in the bandsaw but I agree with the instructions and recommend that you remove the wheel to install. If your wheel is 14-14.5” in diameter I recommend a decent amount of stretching and maybe even soaking in warm water prior to stretching. To extend the life of your tires (and your blade for that matter) ensure you detension your blade after each days use. I detension mine 8 full turns.If your blade has a flutter or your machine has a vibration you just can’t control then get these and I all but guarantee this will solve 90% of your issues.

My Installation Guide:1.Watch a bunch of videos of idiots claiming you can install these in 10-15 minutes with nothing but a bucket of hotwater and a wood stick. If you are a professional bandsaw tire installation technician, then that would be about right. If you fall in the other 99.99999% of the population, then give yourself a half hour of watching stupid videos, another half hour of trying to use the bad information in these stupid videos, then another half an hour to get it done. So maybe an hour and a half.2. Take wheels off of the bandsaw.3. Take old tire and cut a 10" x 1/4" strip of rubber off of it with a sharp knife4. Set the urethane tire over the wheel on one spot5. Tie the urethane tire to the wheel with a couple tight wraps of your rubber strip, and tie it off.6. Work around the wheel in one direction, using both hands on the same spot. Keep tension on the tire to keep it stretched as tight as possible over the spots you just worked. The spot you tied down will stay put.7. Do not use a screwdriver or a dowel or a funny shaped stick, because it will not help. If you want to stick a dowel under the tire so you can equalize the tension, after, then you can do so. Just leave the dowel under one spot and forget about it as you work around using both hands. Don't get me wrong. If you practice enough, you will be good enough to get the tire on while advancing the stick under the leading edge and even make a video of yourself doing it. But the stick just gets in the way.8. If the tire is slightly too wide for your wheel, don't break out the razor knife and start trimming just yet. Try pushing the tire to squeeze it behind the rim. You can use a stick for this part. After you have the tire behind the rim on one side, flip and work the other side. If the tire is really, really too wide, then good luck trimming it while it's on the wheel. The plastic is very hard and difficult to trim without sharp scissors, and you are not going to be able to do that while the tire is on the wheel. If you do not have a dowel under the tire, then good luck getting the tire off to properly trim it. :)

Took a long time to stretch, however working perfect
