Exact fit for my General 17" Bandsaw. I heated the tire in my powder coating oven to 100 Deg. C, then stretched it on the wheel. I found it best to put the wheel in a piece of round stock in a large vice, through the bearing, then place a piece of aluminum plate over the bottom half of the wheel to place the tire under and prevent it from slipping off, then use 2 phillips screwdrivers to stretch it progressively over the top by pulling towards you from both sides of the tire. That technique worked well and it went on easily and fit perfectly.

I am trying another set again and if these don't last as long as the first set I'll purchase another brand.

First bandsaw tire I have ever installed and it went great. The key is in heating the tires in worm water first. Very easy with a basic home tool kit. Will buy again.

As I expected these tires were difficult to install but work fine once installed. Keeping one side on while stretching the other side is the problem. I knew this from experience so I was prepared with a few pry bars to walk it around and a clamp to hold one side on. But if it wasn’t tight it would not work.

Excellent choice do not hesitate to purchase.I have installed them on my 14 inch grizzly bandsaw and now my 17 inch grizzly bandsaw excellent product. Very easy to install I suggest leaving the blade on loosen the tension roll the old ones off and roll the new ones on feeding them on with little sticks allowing the blade to help hold them in position very easily done one person job.

The directions are not specific enough to get the bands to fit they must be heated in boiling water for longer than the directions state. Once you have fitted them they work just fine

Appear to be the same as OEM bandsaw wheel tires. I use a few tricks to install bandsaw tires that make the process easier. Boil some water and let the tires soak in the hot water for 5-10 minutes prior to trying to stretch the tire over the wheel. Clean the old wheel with mineral spirits/etc. prior to trying to get the new tire on it. After starting the tire on the wheel secure the assembly together using a couple zip ties prior to stretching the tire over the last part of the wheel. This gives you a couple extra "hands" to stop the tire from slipping off the wheel when you begin to stretch it over the wheel. HTH

Nice set of bandsaw tires. My old bandsaw tires disintegrated in the humid climate of Hawaii over a few years. They are an absolute pain in the rear to install onto the wheels however. I hope these will last longer.Unless you are a silverback gorilla, you will not be able to muscle these tires on freehand. To install each tire this it is best to remove the wheels from the bandsaw. The trick is remove all the old residue from the old tires off the wheel. Dipping the tires in very hot water certainly helps. I only got them installed by first clamping the wheel to a workbench, then using several clamps to clamp the tire to the wheel. slowly, i used several levers (screwdrivers, stiff scraper blades etc) to stretch the tires, while incrementally moving the clamps around the wheel until i could snap the final bit of the tire onto the wheel, It helps to have 3 hands during this process, but I managed to squeak by with two.
