Without the model, it’s hard to say, but you might try calling Sulphur Grove Tool (
www.sgtool.com) at 904-619-7935. They are who I use for urethane replacement tires on my bandsaws (I’ve done my 14 and 18 to date and need to do the 16). They’ve been very helpful the two times I called them.

Could be wrong , but I don't think those urethane tires are going to work on an Italian bandsaw wheel. It's my understanding they have to be senot to a specialist to be re-tired.
Why do you think you need new tires in the first place ?
The model number is on the aluminum manuf. plate that's riveted onto the spine of the saw. That age , it's mot likely from Meber, but it could be an ACM. I just don't remember when Laguna transitioned to ACM for the 16's.
picture would help.

The internet says Meber will sell tires and ship them to you.

Do they re-tread euro bandsaw wheels ? These don’t have a “tire” that you buy, heat up , and slip over your wheel like a domestic or Asian 14”er.

I've been following this thread with interest. I have an MM16 and wondered what i would do if it ever needed tires (MM suggests the OEM tires are "lifetime"). Anyway,
I did find this on Amazon and was surprised to see someone offering aftermarket DIY tires for it.
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

there are a lot of urethane tires for it listed on Amazon. Not sure I trust that without someone having done it.
