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
