bandsaw tyres for a basato 3

[Selwyn]

anyone know of anywhere cheap to get bandsaw tyres for a Scheppach basato 3?

Shall I got for urethane or rubber?

Selwyn, I've heard urethane are the better tyres but I've also heard the thickness of some urethane tyres can increase the wheel size enough to cause problems with where the blade ends up in relation to the table slot/guides/etc.

Urethane are supposedly easier to fit as well.

Hi Selwyn
how did you get on with the bandsaw tyres?
i have just decided (well my bandsaw decided for me ) that mine need replacing - a quick search and here we are.
hopefully you can help me decide which way to go.
how long did they take to arrive?
cheers
paul
