    Default Ryobi bandsaw 9" EBW4023L Tyre replacement

    Hi Guys,
    I usually haunt the metalwork forum, but I do have a little bandsaw that gets a lot of work. It's a cheapie I know but It does a great job for the little bits and pieces I make. I have replaced the sawblade some time ago and it has been tracking and cutting well until today when it stopped and I found a tyre had come off the drive wheel. The tyre is totally wrecked and in pieces.
    I googled a replacement on ebay and being a tight a*s, I was a bit shocked at the price of about $50 for a replacement in Urethane.
    I have used urethane in the past for over 40 years so I appreciate it's value and endurance however--- My question is, where can I buy a cheapie pair of tyres in rubber or a cheaper material.
    The current tyres have lasted at least 15 years and at that rate a new set will definately last me out in the workshop, so I will be happy with an inferior product (I think).
    I'm also happy to buy something from Asia if it means economy.
    I will appreciate any suggestions please.
    Thanks
    Brian

    I had a little saw like that, same thing happened, got a set of replacement tyres from the US via Fleebay that were not too expensive. They can be a bit of a pain to fit, they need soaking in hot water for a while to get them soft enough to fit. This set came with fitting instructions and a couple of wooden dowels to get the band into the wheel.
