I agree that pressing old tires is a risk, but you can weld the band to the hub. I work on older units where even new tires walk off the hubs. Welding on the outside edge (so you can see if the weld ever needs addressing) has worked many times for me- haven't had a issue yet.
What make/model of lift are you working on?
