Default Removing old tyres...

How do you remove old tyres from your rims? I've heard (might be a joke) that you put them in the oven!?

Let's hear your own best removal methods.....

I stick mine in a saucepan of boiling water for an hour or so. It makes the superglue go brittle.
Obviuosly makeing sure it doesnt boil dry

Steam em, boil em, xxxx em........... put them in an airtight pot, paint kettle, with half inch of acetone and leave to soak in the fumes for a few days, rubber peels away. Cut off some of the tyre before soaking unless........

and be careful with acetone.

Edit: oven removed - sorry

DO NOT BAKE, putting in the oven releases cyanide, boil is cheapest and quickest
