To get tire off the rim i simply take the tire, rim and all and stick it in the oven for 350 degrees for 20 minutes and take them out and the tire will peal off clean. Ive dont it before and it works like a charm

nothinbetr2do

you can bake or boil them, boiling them can mess up chrome finish though. but both methods work

but baking them will make your house smell like burning rubber

It's true - baking stinks.. Easy though..

go-to

Boiling has never worked well for me.

You could always get Bead lock rims

But yeah, I heard that baking works great, shame about the bad smell [:@]

my wife would kill me if i put tires in the oven, then afterwards i have to get rid of the smell inside the house and inside the oven.

Boiling one tire for 20 minutes can be tideous as well though[&:]

plus peeling it off while its still boiling hot but it does work well.

Boiling kinda worked for me ...but not 100% it got about 80% of it off,the rest I had to cut ,and hassle with.
I'll try the bake method next.

Your better off just getting new tires and wheels

I have numerous sets of wheels that have seen at least 3 sets of tires and boiling all ways worked great. If you boil them for about 15 minutes and it does not come all the way off boil them a little more and they will. All you need to do is crystallize the CA glue.

Bring a big pot of water to a rolling boil. Toss a tire in there.....weigh it down with something to keep it completely submerged.....set a timer for 30 minutes......remove the tire from the water after the 30 minutes.......the rubber will peel right off the rim........just be careful, as it is scalding hot. I do mine this way and it works great.[8D]

I run mine under cold water before popping them off the rim but yes careful!

ok thx a lot gye's I actually just baught axial beadlock's but wanted to use my rubber the hobby shop said they would fit but after boiling the tires and getting the rubber off (worked quite well)...........they didn't even fit

but hey here is a picture of what it could have looked like.....lol

guess il need to get 40 series rubber doesn't seem like there is a lot of choices thow
my 2 choices so far are proline super 40 moab or proline masher 40

nothinbetr2do

pro-line has a series out called big joes, take a look at those. i can so you a pic if you like

MITCH ..

thx but i've looked at all the proline tires........with meat and there is only 5 to pick from

seems most people with 40's have big joe so I just wanted to try out something different

unless I find other 40's by someone els I think it will be the masher

Those pins are cool in a retro type of way, but they suck on the street. They'll be toast after a days worth of running. You've been warned.[8D]

bb942

well i never said to use em on the street. but there awesome.

MITCH ..

anybody know of other 40's I can get for these rims that aren't proline or axial.....just a tiny bit more selection would be cool[8D]

black mamba

Yeah, we all say we won't use them on the street but end up doing it anyways. I'm guilty of doing it.[8D]

They are awesome though.......great grip in the dirt and in the grass they stick like glue. They're cool because they remind me of the rear tires used on the old Hornet and Frog.[8D]

black mamba

Pro Line and Axial are about it.....I can't think of anyone else that sells 40s. Between the two, they don't offer enough variety?[&:][8D]

MITCH ..

man these bead lock's........96 screws it a toutch much[&:]
