its not tyres, its gluing method. superglue are way too harsh.

I had some Ballistic Buggy tyres that went HUGE when I acetoned them off some wheels once (think they were the 'stud' spikes in their yellow). Apart from them all the others I've taken off have been OK (Schumacher yellows went white (ish) but this wore off after a run or 3, the tyres themselves were OK).

I also managed to reuse the foam insert by washing them out with water and letting them dry.

I boil my schumacher tyres off Mark, but the rubber feels awful after. I dont think you would be happy to be honest.

I was thinking of trying some type of silcone, like bathroom sealant to 'glue' tyres on. Something strong enough to hold them, but weak enough to peel them away when the time comes.

Tried some loctite rubber glue but broke away a little too easily. What you think?

Don't acetone Schumacher Greens - mine go funny and 'hard'.

Any 'yellows' are fine - I acetone them off and swop them between wheels just fine.
