IMPRESA Bandsaw Tires - 2-Pack of Orange Urethane Bandsaw Tire for Metal & Wood Cutting - No Adhesive Needed - Compatible with Jet, Grizzly & Powermatic (14-inch)

Installation is difficult. Soften it in boiling water (not warm water). Use your hand and foot to stretch it. Then be prepared to still apply significant force to install the tire on the wheel. I mostly installed it, put each palm on it and used my thumb to push it on. There is a lip on the wheel rim. I used a small screwdriver to get under it and then push it over the lip. You'll see. But my refurb is done. Works great again. Should have been done 10 years ago.

Perfect fit and increased accuracy for my jet bandsaw!

I like not having to use any adhesive to install them! As for 'ease of installation, ( not so easy) But the instruction say to soak the belts in hot water for a little while and try to install them while they are still warm and flexible! Well I did all that and it still was a fight to get them installed on the wheels of my band saw. But hey, taking the good and the bad, it is a very good product. and they fit perfectly on the 14" wheels of my band saw. If ever needed again, I would buy them in an instant!

I read the installation instructions suggested in the reviews, added one modification and it worked well for me. After reading how important it was to immerse the tires in hot water, I boiled some water and stuck them in for maybe a minute or two. I used a small dowel rod about 6" long and tried to work the tire onto the wheel but found that the side opposite would slowly work it's way off. Being a bicyclist who's put many a stiff tire onto a rim, I decided that I'd make another short dowel and use the two like tire irons. I held the dowel on one side between the tire and wheel stationary and worked the other dowel around to meet the stationary dowel. Worked like a champ. Others have said that the tires were a little too wide for their wheel. When I first put them in some places the edge seemed a little raised above the recess in the wheel. I was able to push the edge into the recess by hand without any problems or trimming. I have a Jet 14" bandsaw. Haven't used the bandsaw yet so may have additional info after some use.

Some people commented that these tires were too wide for their bandsaw wheels. They fit fine on my Jet JWBS-14CS 14" bandsaw. The bandsaw wheels are curved instead of being flat so the tires are made to basically snap in on the sides of the wheel. They are (by design) a challenge to get on the wheels but I warmed them up next to a heater prior to installing and was able to stretch them onto the wheels. My rubber tires lasted 12 years before one broke, I expect these being urethane will last me a lifetime. Saw runs fine with new tires, no vibration or balance issues. They are a good value for two tires compared to some other ones I look at. Recommended.

Installed in about 15 minutes with a method found on youtube using a dowel in a drill with a dowel in the chuck to roll around the wheel and move the tire into place. My saw required another person to stabilize the wheel as it turned. Product seems good. I replaced a similar poly tire I have used for 18 years. No vibration and sound reduced from older tire. Cutting sample wood at 90 degrees was perfect with no scarring of material. Back cut vibration test showed no vibrations. Would recommend for now but will see how long it lasts.

They are easy to fit and work very well so far Time will tell

Perfect fit. They look & feel substantial enough to last quite a while. Probably out last me! And, as for the company, Impresa Products, i just cant say enough. They sent my order, and tracking indicated it qas placed in ny mailbox, but it wasnt there. USPS put it in the wrong box. (they've been doing a lot of that around here for a long time. Kinda seems like they are made to deliver packages for community service). Impresa didnt have to, but they refunded my purchase price! A neighbor brought me my package yesterday. USPS put it in their box. 14 days after they "delivered it to my box" i was lucky enough to have good neighbors rhat brought it to me. USPS is getting so unreliable, im reluctant to order anything of signifigance. Now ive got ro find a way to get Impresa Products their money. A BIG thank you to Inpresa Products! so...THANK YOU, YOURE AWESOME!

I ordered the tires for my Porter Cable bandsaw. I didn't have any problem putting them on and they work very well. Very happy with the product!!!

Fitted these as a replacement tires my wheel was 14 1/4 " so a little bit tight . Followed a post on you tube by Tim B on fitting using a drill to stretch the tire as it is fitted no soaking in hot water or soap required. It worked for me took about 30 mins for both wheels. Look it up. As for the tires seem to be ok time will tell how durable they are.

Excelentes para revivir una sierra antigua. Yo las usé en una sierra de cinta Oakland de 14"

Once properly warmed up the bands went on easily and once cool were very secure.

Early days but first impressions are very good, seem tough and very tight fit.
