removing tires
Hi all,
Ive just got some new tires for my touring car and ive glued them onto the rims. Went out for some practice and rounded the hex inside the rim, the tires are still prefect and i don't want to waste them. Would it damage the compound of the tire if I was to boil them off the rims? Would be good if not as I can put them on better wheels. Cheers!

boiling...
acetone would alter the compound of the tyre possibly, but boiling should not as boiling water is not hot enough to alter rubber..... so safer to boil them....
In my honest opinion.....

yes boil them for about 15-20 mins (use old pan) then drop them into cold water and the glue just cracks and you can peel them off

+ 1 for boiling no smells and come of clean as a whistle.i have found a little longer makes it a lot easier on thickly coated tyres.(yes i have had some with about 5mm given to me for the wheels)
