Default Removing Tyres with Acetone are they still useable

I have some brand new tyres that I want to remove from the rims and was wondering if I use acetone, will I be able to re-use them or does it affect the rubber?

In the past when I have wanted to re-use the tyres I have boiled them off, but when removing old discarded tyres I use the acetone method. The rubber looks to be unaffected with this method, but I'm unsure if this has any affect on reusing them for racing.

Any thoughts.
