    Flat tires on a re-saw band saw?

    I bought an older 32" Centauro band saw that was run with flat tires.
    My smaller band saws both have crowned tires, so flat tires make me a little apprehensive.

    I was quoted $915 to vulcanize, crown and balance both wheels

    The rubber tire on the lower wheel is in very good condition, but I need a new tire on the upper wheel.
    I can replace the upper wheel tire myself if I use a flat tire, so that's a big saving.

    I'm looking for confirmation that flat tires will work for tracking with blades of 3/4" and up in width.

    The wheel rims are about 1 7/8" wide, in case that make a difference.

    Any advice welcome. Thanks, Mark
