Dont Bake Response Tires!!! -
06-16-2005, 09:00 AM
F.Y.I.!!!!
I was Using my standard process of takin tires off rims lastnight and about burn the Apartment down.... I usually bake tires at like 400 for 22 to 25 mins without any problems in the past ... Well since the response is such a soft tire ( didnt think of that before started) That at the 15 mark smoke was rolling outs my oven and setting off all the smoke detectors!!! It smelt like an NHRA event in my apt. for the rest of the night... As for the responses... There ruined... They are now super soft and sticky... Black goo sticks to your hands when touch them. Nothing like ruinin 4 tires that still had like atleast 60% tread. Oh well , Just thought id share.. --Then follow the rules! haha!-- -Tune

That sucks. Why don't you just boil them? Boiling them allows you to just pull the tire off with minimal force. I've never tried the "oven method" as boiling always does the trick.

ive done the oven method with a couple sets of response tires and its always worked out fine. Oven method is the best way if you ask me. Never had any problems and the tires were always unstuck before i took them out of the oven.

I have always boiled tires also. I don't trust the oven. Boiling cleans off any grease, has always worked fine and can't get above 212 deg. f.

A question, never having baked tires (have boiled). Why wouldn't you set your oven at more like 220 degrees, similar to boiling temp range? Heat is heat right?

A tip I have heard, but haven't tried yet, is to get a 5 gallon bucket, put a brick in the bottom, then pour in acetone, below the level of the brick. put the tires on top of the brick, so they don't actually sit in the acetone, and cover the bucket. Let it sit overnite, and the fumes break down the CA. The good points about this method, is that the acetone NEVER touches the tire, so if your tires still have good tread, they will not be ruined by the acetone, and also, supposedly, chromed rims willnot lose their plating.

Just a suggestion Roc, wouldn't it be safer to start lower (250*) then go higher if need be, rather than Bake another set of tires to find out that 325 is still too hot? I personally would rather go through the process twice, than waste another set of tires. JMO

see what I enjoy most out of all this, is that Roc is a fireman! If anyone should know at what temp rubber melts, it should be him. But then again, I think Roc felt he needed a little pratice at putting out tire fires.
