Ordered new ones from Highland Woodworking..got the Delta replacements ( the ridid and clones are basically the same) BUT the tires are wayyyyyyy too small diameter wise ( yeah, 14” and needs to be stretched on, but this is insanely small) Too FAT to fit the grooved wheels, and thick enough to create a crown some how ( HOW? you ask? I guess mount on the drive wheel and spin ‘er up and shave, abrade a crown, then mount on the free wheel and repeat for the lower..or is only the upper crowned?)
I abhorr calling Ridgid, I think thier web site is useless for parts, and forget HD tool guy..
So, whats the secret?
BTW, the 30.00 ea. are going back to Highland. When I placed the order there, they had no idea which tires to send either..I really didn’t want to keep sending parts back and forth trying to find which is which.
EDIT: Ok, looks like I need to boil ’em or some thing..I think I got it ironed out.

Got some nice screaming orange urethane tires from http://www.suffolkmachinery.com
They sell Timberwolf blades too.
Don't know if they would have what you need, but 1-800-234-SAWS is their number.

Instead of getting your iron kettle all fired up on the woodstove, just splash them with light fluid and strike a match. They will stretch real easy for a minute or so.
