Using your Makita 424589 - 8 replacement tire is easy. First, if the tire seems too small, soak it in warm water. This will make it more flexible so you can stretch it over the band saw wheel. Remember, it's normal for the new tire to be smaller than the old one. Each order only includes one tire, so make sure you have the right quantity for your needs. To keep your tire in good shape, avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures. Also, check regularly for any signs of wear and tear. If you notice the blade slipping again, it might be time to replace the tire.
