I need to replace the lower tire. There is a wide range of prices on the Internet, so I assume also a wide range of quality. I would appreciate recommendations for a good source. |

Urethane for sure, I used http://www.suffolkmachinery.com on my old 17" Parks saw and was happy. Haven't changed out the rubber tires on the 19" Griz yet. |

Sulfur grove is the manufacturer for many of the urethane tires. Usually cheaper and faster to order direct. Installation can be tricky. Soaking in hot water helps a lot. |

Guessing the tire is off the machine or the rubber is cracking... If not you might be able to dress it. So you need a new one, Are you getting a pair? Have you folks ran different tires on each wheel? Did they have differing cambers? Can you dress urethane if need be, like you can with rubber ones? Suppose I might be overcomplicating things, as you can dress the other one to match, if it turned out to be actual problem. |
