Chris,

You win the cigar. You are absolutely correct.

I am not sure that I agree that this is the only correct way. Keeping mind,
that the crown is there so that the blade will track in the same place. The
blade naturally tries to ride along the highest point of the tire.
Additionally, many band saw tires have very little crown at all.
