Just an FYI for anyone else needing to replace them, it's not too difficult but, you do need to take the wheels off.

The bottom wheel is the hardest one because that's also got the pulley for the belt. I used a quick grip to pull it into place so I could get the screws in it.. Once it locked in and I got the first screw going, the rest was simple.

For the record, I went with the Grizzly Urethane tires. I've got a 1" resaw blade on it and will let you know how they hold up.

1) Kev, is yours a 17” saw, being that you have a 1” blade on it? Was part ofthe structure what prevented you from putting the top tire on or was just easier while on the ground?

2) Yes, it's the Grizzly 17" anniversary version.

Stretching the tires while the wheels are on is pretty impossible by yourself! The instructions call for the removal of the wheels and they were spot on!

3) Thanks. Mines only a 14” but good to know.
