A short time ago I asked a question about mounting band saw tires on a 21" wheel. I got some good answers here and thought I would let you know what I found out.
Sulphur Grove Tool will custom make any size tire you need. They are Urethane tires. I had bought tires from two different places, and they were too small. I think they were for smaller wheels.
I ordered from Sulphur Grove Monday and the tires came today. They fit perfectly. No need to soak in hot water.
Sulphur Grove has a U-tube video called "Band Saw Tire Installation Jig" This jig is easy to make and makes putting a tire on a 21" rim easy.
Maybe this information will help someone else get the right size tires, and install them on a large wheel.

Thanks for the useful info.

Let me guess, this must be for for a Grizzly bandsaw. For some reason they seem to like odd bandsaw sizes of 17" and 19". The rest of the world has even sizes of 10", 14", 18", and 20".

I totally shredded my hands a bit a few months ago installing new poly bandsaw tires. That is something I hope I never need to do again!
