Default Tyre boiling smell any smell?

Is there any sort of smell from tyre boiling, i have heard that baking can smell your place out but i cant find much on boiling.

I dont like the sound of the acetone method so is boiling my best option?

Boiling and cooking all poor options. I know you said you don't like the acetone option, but a bottle of £1 nail varnish remover in a container with a lid. Cut the main part of the tyre off and then place them all in the container and put the lid on. A couple of days and they just peel right off. You only need bout a cm in the bottom of the container. Works every time...

Boiling them stinks too. But I'd rather do that than have lots of acetone around.

There is a thread on the previous page -' removing old tyres'.

Full and lengthy discussion on the whole subject...

Boil 'em. Never smelt a thing and wheels seem fine.

I always boil my tires off... There can be a slight smell of rubber in the air (and/or remains of dirt on/in your tires), but that smell is much milder than some new sets of tires (dBoots for example) - I just never had problems with fumes - just make sure you don't boil it until the pan has no water left in it
