Today I purchased a pair of the 14" Carter blue tires for my Delta X5 bandsaw.
I went into the shop with tires in bag and proceeded to cut the factory orange urethane tires off. I took the blue Carters out of the box and as soon as I looked at the I could tell they were not right.
The Carters are 3/32 thick and 7/8" wide. The Delta's are a full one inch wide and 5/32" thick. Clearly they will not work.
It looks like I will have to order the OEM tires from Delta unless anyone has a better suggestion.
