I'm needing to remove some good tires from good wheels to replace foams. I don't wanna ruin anything. So, boil them for how long on each side (cuz they float, right)?

And, because I don't want to risk divorce by using my good cookware pots....has anyone ever tried using a large coffee can to boil in? It will only fit one wheel at a time, but I've got time.

Thanks for the tips.

Ponch made a thing how to do it. But then again, it was Ponch.

Heat them in the oven at 350 for 15 minutes and they pop right off. use gloves. if they don't come off ez bake a little longer til they do

I had to boil my tires for atleast 45 minutes each side for them to come off. Boiling them won't do anything to a pot so there is no need for a coffee can.

You don't know my wife!

As for the oven, I recall Rocco melting tires at 350??? Are we sure about that method?

i tried that oven deal at 350 for like 10 minutes and they didnt melt.....well the tires didnt, the wheels got so soft and from me pulling on the tires too much they were ruined. tires didnt come off very easy either, mabey shoulda left em in longer.

Ok.... Here a sure fire way dave....

I do this more than i like to admit......

Preheat the oven at 350 for 10 mins.... Put the tires in and turn the temp down to 250... I set the timer for 20 mins and when they come out they pop off no problem... Its alittle smelly but its warm out today crack a window and you'll hardly notice... And i know mikey is going to chime in and say that this method creates Cyanide gas, but i searched the net for hours and never did i find anywhere that stated enough could be prouced to harm even a small child...

WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT try the acetone method i read(on the panther thread on sgrid) where you submere the tire in acetone and the glue melts away and the world is a happy smell free place.BULLSNOT! it ruined my boa C's Rubber is so hard now.

that only does that to c compound tires rocco

Well i learned that the hard F'in way... 60 dollar mistake

and if u are gonna do the acetone thing get a 5 gallon bucked and put a brick in the bottom fill the bucket up to about brick level and put the tires on the brick so they dont actually touch the acetone then close the lid and let it sit

no the mistake was buying the panther tires in the first place

Money back guarantee on that Rocco?

Ohhhhh Yeah

Seriously though the oven wont hurt them

yeah I just did it today, I put them in for 20 minutes at 350, hell the wheel stickers I couldnt get off a couple of my wheels even stayed on

I boil. I use two pans and fill them up about 3/4 way. On high heat takes like 10min to boil(putting a lid on helps). Then I toss one tire in each and let them
