Removing old tyres...
 

How do you remove old tyres from your rims? I've heard (might be a joke) that you put them in the oven!?

Let's hear your own best removal methods.....

I like the acetone option, simple an easy 😀

I stick mine in a saucepan of boiling water for an hour or so. It makes the superglue go brittle.
Obviuosly makeing sure it doesnt boil dry

Steam em, boil em, xxxx em........... put them in an airtight pot, paint kettle, with half inch of acetone and leave to soak in the fumes for a few days, rubber peels away. Cut off some of the tyre before soaking unless........

and be careful with acetone.

Edit: oven removed - sorry

Acetone is the way to go indeed

+1 for the acetone method. Never looked back.

DO NOT BAKE, putting in the oven releases cyanide, boil is cheapest and quickest

lol and that releases it in to the pan and air,but not as bad as over

Boiling doesn't have the safe effect on the glue as baking, boiling dissolves the glue, giving off no harmful gasses

Just acetone them dude .

as already said acetone is the lesser of the evils.
ps dissolving super glue in water is then released in steam coming of the water.

My favourite is acetone, but if i'm in a hurry I bake them, 180C for 8 mins then just pop em off the rims. Yes it smells a bit, so make sure the wife doesn't catch you, close all doors in house and open the kitchen windows. But really not recommended, i'm just impatient sometimes and go for it. acetone is preferred method.

Accetone all the way for me does exactly what it says on the tin

Removes all the tyre nice and cleanley

Removes all the glue

No damge to inserts so can re use them

No damage to the wheels so can re use these to

The missus gets me the cheapest acetone nail polish remover out of superdrug

Think its 2.99 for half a litre and its lasted about 6 months.

Its kept in an old ice cream tub under the sink, and i usually leave them 2 or 3 days but the longernthe better

Acetone in a bucket Jimmy.
Im doing a batch as we speak in the shed!

Acetone removal
 

I use acetone (don't need a lot ) in a small plastic tub with a lid and leave it overnight.

The tyres are soft and just peel off by hand :thumbsup:

Just don't breathe the fumes :cry:

another vote for acetone here

I think baking is best quick and easy but you have got to keep your eyes on them

So, with the acetone, do you have to submerge them? Or do you just have a little in the bottom of a tub and do one side at a time. How long do you leave them for?

Jimmy

Just a little in the bottom of a air tight container leave for 24/48 hrs . All good .
