Soak the new urethane tires in hot water (up to 120°F) for about 5–10 minutes — this softens the urethane and makes it pliable enough to stretch over the wheel. While the tire is still warm, stretch it over the wheel starting at one point and working your way around. Repeat for the second wheel. Allow the tires to cool and contract for a snug fit before reinstalling the blade.\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n \n\u003cdetails style=\"border:1px solid #d0d7de; border-radius:6px; margin-bottom:10px; overflow:hidden;\"\u003e\n  \u003csummary style=\"background:#f5f7f9; padding:14px 18px; font-weight:bold; cursor:pointer; font-size:15px; list-style:none;\"\u003e\n    ▸ How long do urethane band saw tires last compared to rubber?\n  \u003c\/summary\u003e\n  \u003cdiv style=\"padding:14px 18px; line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\n    Urethane tires significantly outlast factory rubber tires. Rubber tires dry out, crack, and become brittle over time — even when the saw isn't in use. Urethane resists all of these issues, maintaining its grip and shape for years of regular use.\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n \n\u003cdetails style=\"border:1px solid #d0d7de; border-radius:6px; margin-bottom:10px; overflow:hidden;\"\u003e\n  \u003csummary style=\"background:#f5f7f9; padding:14px 18px; font-weight:bold; cursor:pointer; font-size:15px; list-style:none;\"\u003e\n    ▸ My band saw model isn't listed.
