Please do try Lee Valley Viking blades I can assure that they are just as good

you will never regret it. Everyone here trust Lere Valley?
Suffork is not always that nice, I have three blades sitting on my shelf
gathering dusts. I am also expecting flame from Timberwolf lover here, they hate
me for telling the truth and think I have axe to grind. Anyone who disagree with
me please sent me you axes, I'll grind it for free, including shipping and
handling both directions.
Cheers :0-)

Preheating by soaking for required time really softened the urethane
tires I got from them and if memory serves the only tool used was the
shaft of a screwdriver to get last portion of tire over the wheel
edge. Easier than expected.

The most recent tires for the ancient 12" Craftsman (purchased from
Suffolk) came with mounting instructions, including a hot water soak.
The bad words that go with the mounting I already knew.

I just received my blades and tires from Suffolk today. My BS is a newer
(2002) Bridgewood 15". I'm hoping that I won't need the clamps, prying
tools, and bad words!!
To the OP - I haven't used the Timberwolf blades yet, but everything I've
heard here is that they are amoung the best available. They were sure nice
to deal with on the phone - very helpful. My saw is a little "off size", so
they custom made the blades and tires to fit - no extra charge.
I'll do a short post after I get the tires and new blade on, and get it in
some wood.

Discussing this with support led me to thinking heating prior to
installation then strectching them on was to preclude the need for
adhesive.

Take a look at wood slicer blades at Highland Hdwe at
http://www.tools-for-woodworking.com/index.asp or at Suffolk Machinery
at http://www.suffolkmachinery.com/. Both offer excellent blades and
tires of all sizes.
