Discontinued Delta Bandsw tires

I have a Delta model 28-195 10" bandsaw. Yesterday one of the tires broke.
I called Delta, that model is discontinued; therefore the repair parts are
discontinued. They will not support it at all.
Does anyone know of anywhere I can get a tire? It's polyurethane, crowned,
on a 10.5" wheel and 1 11/16" wide.
Check for other 10" bandsaws---there's little difference. You'll have
to crown the replacement yourself--there was an article in FWW a few
years ago on how to do it.
Given Delta's attitude the only alternative I seem to have is throw the
whole saw in the garbage.
I bought a Unisaw two years ago and now I'm worried. I suspect I'd better
buy some spares while Delta is still supporting it; it would be an expensive
tool to have to junk out.
Whole different class of tool...no comparison.
