New tires??

[Greg Urwiller]

My son's going to give me a Ridgid 14002 BS he has. Says it needs new tires on the wheels. I know this isn't a high dollar/quality bandsaw, but it's better than what I have right now. So would you just go with a standard OEM repacement tire, or should I look for something better? Greg

Not sure how much the OEM tire are but I would consider the Carter replacements.

I might be inclined to talk to Louis Iturra. i haven't dealt with him but reviews are uniformly positive. From Manta.com
