The Delta wheels have a crown in them, so you don't need to mess with crowning the tires. Rubber or urethane tires will work just fine without anything else needed to be done.
Also - I don't think I've ever seen a 'crowned' tire (ie: pre-crowned) for those machines that don't already have the crown in the wheel… what you usually get is a flat rubber tire that then needs to be crowned in place once glued on the wheel. Maybe I just haven't looked enough though

Bought these from Woodcraft for my 14 inch delta 28-254 platinum. I am very happy with them. Really improved the performance of the band saw. The wheels do have a slight crown in them. No need for glue.
My MiniMax has flat tires and the crown is in the wheel. My old PM141 has flat wheels and when installing (flat) urethane tires I used the manufactures method for crowning describe in my restoration blog (step 5).
Rubber tires can be crowned after installation by using a sanding block to grind in your own crown. The urethane tire manufacture's method referenced mentioned you only need to crown one wheel.
I also sourced Sulpher Grove. Probably the exact same base material as I bought, maybe just a different width and/or diameter.
