Ridiculous. Does Ryobi actually expect customers to 'poach' their wheel tires for 5-10 minutes?, then potentially burn themselves trying to fit them on?
I received what look like 7-1/2 or 8" diameter tires for a 9" wheel. What's more, one of them appears to have a hole in it, as if stabbed from the edge. If I try to stretch this thing by that much, I just don't see it holding together.
Lest I forget it's taken over a month to order these things in on back order from my local Ryobi service center, which is a 40 km drive one-way.
I think I'm done with Ryobi tools, unless anyone has something a little more encouraging to say....

is this a 9 inch or 10 inch saw here is a link to thhe parts. also the same belt that fits sears or harbor freight will fit. they all have the same belt just made by different people. my sears an dewalt are the same part. Ryobi BS1001SV 10 Band Saw Parts
Make sure you clean the knob adjustments on your bandsaw. Sawdust buildup would cause stiffness of the knobs. Look for a manual online and follow the instructions on installing band saw blade.
The noise might not be coming from the blade, but perhaps from the bearings on the top or bottom wheel. Unplug it and open the covers. With the blade still on, turn the wheels by hand to see if you still get the noise. Then remove the blade and turn the wheels independently by hand. Then plug it back in and run the motor (with the blade still off!). Of course with the blade still off, the load on the wheel bearings will be very light, so maybe you can provide a bit of load by pressing a wheel or or caster against them as you turn them. Be careful. Good luck!
If you still have the old belt, take it to a well equipped hardware or auto parts store for a replacement. If the previous belt is missing, you will need to measure the pulley 'V' width at the top of the 'V', the center to center measurement of the two shafts, and the outer diameters of the two pulleys. Hope this helps!
Go to the Ryobi website and look under "support". They have a feature there that allows you to "locate a service center". Use that and you can find a repair depot that can supply you with the parts you need.
