Carter tires do not fit my Delta 14" X% bandsaw?

[chris del]

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.

I don't have any experience with the Delta so take that into account.
I had the HF 14" BS before getting te Rikon 10-325. I ordered the generic orange urethane tires after measuring the width of the wheels. Both were 1". When I installed the tires I noticed that there was a bulge on the sides. Closer inspection showed that the sides of the groove in the wheel angled down to 7/8" at the bottom.
So, I found the 7/8" Carter tires and they fit perfectly in the bottom of the wheel.
Look closely at the Delta wheels, they may be the same.
