What kind of glue was used on them? Some glue makers offer a clue remover? And i have always just pulled them of very slowly and I mean slow try a razor blade to cut away the glue and not the tire but if you are not kepping the tires the just go to town with the razor but don't cut in to the rim. I hope that help's and I am sure there is other people that know more about removing tires or a better way then what I have given, So good luck.

If boiling doesn't work try putting them in the oven - i've had a lot of success using this method.

Pre-heat to 220 degrees C, turn off and stick them in. Leave to cool for 15 mins, take them out and let them cool for another 10 mins. Repeat as necessary. Won't damage the wheels or the tyres - just crystallises the CA and makes it very brittle.

Not sure exactly what 220C is but I do the same. Preheat to 350F put the tires in, turn the oven off and leave them for about 15 mins. Let them cool for a while and they come right off. No damage to any part.
