There a rumble and then a bang and it stopped, the tyre was off the wheel. Nobody hurt.
Checked online and though the machine is less than 12 years old and the same model is still available new spare tyres are not available.
Not a car though, a three-wheel band saw (Clarke CBS12WV). So what I need is a 5" to 5 3/4" diameter piece of rubber about 1/2" wide (wider I can trim to suit) and about 1/16" thick (not critical). I am thinking about an old inner tube.
Anyone got one of appropriate size kicking about?
Other suggestions?
Other suppliers?
Thanks
The band saw's I used when I worked in a sawmill years ago were ancient. When one of the drivebelts went on those, the techy guy used to use some sort of uni-part to fix them. He would put the new belt in hot water for about half an hour and stretch it over the drive wheels- I dont think those were rubber though?

Is the part listed here. The saw like you say is a current model so spares should be available.
You might try though if you are stuck TSC (The Saw Centre) in Glasgow) they might be able to help.
