RE: Removing Tires
use the serch button this question has ome up 10 million times.
Also the only method i know of that has no bad side is soaking in acetone. IT works 100%, doesnt invole boiling water, or baking which stinks everything up. The people who tell you to buy new wheels are (no offense) really stupid. Thats a huge waste of money that seriously adds up over time. Just pour some acetone into a container, soak the wheels over night, and the next day they will peel right off the rims, and cause no harm to the wheel

RE: Removing Tires
Bake it.
preheat your oven to 350 degrees (or the centegrade equivelent)
place tires on a cookie sheet
insert into oven, close door, and turn off oven.
wait a couple hours, then take them out and let them cool for a couple more hours. should pop right off the rim, and it's easy.
