Only USA made masking tape UL approved for BS wheels should be used.

You're headed or nothing but frustration. My advice is scrap them and look for a better saw.
You have no idea what you are talking about.
Firstly, don't use urethane tires. Get some real rubber tires. PM me if you need a source. Then put the Carter upper guide on it. Great saw for small scroll saw type work. Here is my 103.0103 which is one model earlier:

The older Craftsman band saws really were a great little saw. The wheels are indeed crowned. I am not going to get into the type of tire to get except to say it is 7/8ths wide and not 1" If you have room keep both keep them both. It is easier to change band saws than band saw blades.
