You can certainly "turn the tire over", so that the flat side
(the worn side) is next to the wheel, and the round side
is driving.
I turned mine over three times before replacing them.
Very minor adjustment may be needed.

I think I need new "tires" on my Leslie motors, but I have not worked with them before and have a few questions. Once in a while, when I first power up the Leslie on slow, the upper horn will not start turning. The motor is spinning, but it is not driving the disc with the tire on it, which has the pulley to the horns. The tires that are on there now have a flat, worn looking edge the slow motor shaft bears against. Is it supposed to be flat, or is it just worn that way? (I have never seen a new one)

Next, if the tire is supposed to be tubular and not have a flat edge, can I pull the existing tire off and sort of reverse it so the inner edge is now facing outward to touch the motor shaft? Or is that not possible or practical. I am all new to this and any suggestions would be great. Thanks.

Keep the sound spinning,

Lou
