Here's a step by step on how to remove glued on tires.

I bought these tires and the foams in them took a dump on me. Flat spots etc.



There is a 4th but that was my test rat...

Start with a pot of boiling water, about 1.5 times as deep as your tires are width-wise.



Put the tires in the pot.



Cook for 15 minutes per side.



Then flip them and cook another 15.



Do that twice, so that you have 30 minutes on each side of the tire. (1 hr total)

Then pour the hot water into the sink (careful!!!) and fill the pot with cold water.



Massage the tires until most/all the hot water is cooled inside.
Then pull back on the bead and the tire will pop right off the rim!



The rims have a yellowy haze, probably from all the crap in this water here in Joliet.

But as you can see, the tires came right off the bead (the bead is clean). I only had 1 part that I had to cut off and it was less than 3/4" long.

*For MT tires, you want to do about 45 minutes per side. Also, the longer you let any tire boil, the easier it will be to remove from the rim.

Hope this helps you guys!!!
