From memory the non-oem tyres where blue urethane and thicker than oem. That made the blade difficult to fit and very hard to track. There was one point on the tilt mechanism where the blade would run with the teeth off the front edge on both wheels. Literally an 1/8th of a turn one way or the other and the blade was off. Once set it was fine for straight cuts but Ray does a lot of curved work and it just kept throwing the blade. The record tyres must have allowed for more adjustment and so the saw is running as before.
