17" urethane bandsaw tires?

[Jack Wilson]

I picked up a damaged Grizzly G0513X2 at the Muncy PA tent sale a week ago. I have been going thru it and striaghtening out bent doors, aligning the wheels and figuring out ways to work around a broken table. So far, so good. I have the fence mounted, I used a length of bar stock to extent the table to catch the fence guide. I would like to replace the tires with urethane, and I want to stay away fromGrizzly/oem, and go with a better tire, if I stick with Grizzly's tires, I might as well leave these ones on. The wheels are 17", can I buy a 16" and stretch them, or maybe 18" tires and not stretch them as much?

Thanks
