If they are superglued on then it's acetone you need.

I boil mine for 10 minutes and they slip strait off. No damage or mess. Careful of the hot rubber tho

If they are real rubber like that on the original Tamiya TA03 then boiling them will just make them incredibly hot and melt them.

If they are off the shelf tyres such as Sorex that are a rubber composite as opposed to actual rubber, then boiling is fine.
