I have a 14 inch Beaver Rockwell 3300 bandsaw.
The tire on the drive wheel has lost its adhesion to the wheel and so I need to either re-adhere it or outright replace it. I have a some questions and if anyone can offer help or comments it would be much appreciated.
1. Can anyone recommend a supplier of a tire? I'm in Ottawa Canada so a North American source is best.
2. Does the drive wheel tire need to be crowned? Are crowned tires even available?
3. What is the best way to re-glue the tire now on the wheel, double sided tape, or a glue?
Thanks for any comments,
John

I bought replacement urethane tires for my Delta 14 inch bandsaw, they
did not require any gluing of the tires. Similar to these.

Are your wheels crowned?

Contact cement if the tires are rubber. https://youtu.be/wGbZqWac0jU?t=150
