Works very well as no slippage.

I found these were just a little too wide and the seam where they are joined together is not the same thickness as the other areas, making them track poorly.

Came in good time from the US to Aus and was easy to fit (if you know how).

I would like to say that these work great. Yes, they are a little hard to install, but once they are on, they're there for good. I used the tool that they supplied and don't know if I could have installed them without the tool. I did leave the wheel on the bandsaw as it was too difficult to get the wheel off. I boiled water and put them in to soak for a few minutes, then stretched them by wrapping them around my vice which is mounted on my workbench. After pulling really hard, it seemed to stretch them somewhat. Then I put it on the wheel, held one side and worked the tool around like putting a car tire on a wheel. The first one took about 5 minutes as the tire kept slipping, but I stayed with it. The second one only took about 3 minutes to install. Patience is the key. Very satisfied with them so far. My bandsaw is an old Craftsman that belonged to my Dad. I think it dates to about 1950 or so. Don't think the tires had ever been replaced and hopefully I never will need to do it again.

The bands can be placed by hand but it comes with a tool to install. The edges need to be pressed using the tool or screwdriver round shaft. no need to boil like others do. it fit my Ryobi 9 inch well. As I mentioned no need to remove the wheels to install. I grabs pretty well the blade and all works well so far. no instructions with it so watch videos of how to install somewhere else...

The quality of the product is in line with the price tag. I cannot speak to longevity per say as I have only recently installed these tires. The one negative I have seen thus far is that width of the tires is not overly consistent. This did not pose an issue during install and I feel that it should be fine while tensioned but still a less than ideal aspect. All in all I would probably buy these again.

The belts are really nice quality and seem to work well. They fit good on my vintage craftsman bandsaw. They are really hard to install and they don't stretch as easily as rubber ones do. I even soaked them in hot water to soften them up. what I found helps is to use Gorilla tape every 3 inches to act as extra hands and hold the tire on the wheel as you work it around. Once I started doing it that way it went a lot easier.

Replaced my old brittle ones on an antique Atlas Band saw and these worked perfect! Nice and tight band fit into groves great. Stretching them on was no problem with the little tire iron they sent, but you actually need a second, so I used a large flat screw driveralso.No slipping and balanced....Make sure to clean the track very good after removing the old. I used a 3/4 wood chisel and was able to get all that old hardened rubber off, then a little Emory paper to smooth.
