Take them out, glue is like syrup and just peels off easy as you like.

You can then reuse tyres, wheels and even foam inserts - if done right it doesnt seem to damage any of them!
I do it all the time for mine.

*** CAUTION *** watch the glue when you are handling them - its so hot it would lift your skin - almost as hot as the topping of a Pop-Tart!!!

I did a forensic course at uni and i know how bad the fumes are (they're carcinogenic and can cause you to become infertile) but thanks

But with acetone does it need to be bathed in it or just apply it to it (and do you have to cut all the tyres off.
