Default Removing good tyres from rims

I've got quite a few set of new tyres (schumacher yellow & BB green) that I need to remove from rims to install on different hex rims. What is the best way? Acetone vapor or does this effect the tyres/inserts and make them unusable?

Default tyres

I have tried every way possible to get tyres off. The best,cleanest and quickest way is the oven.
Preheat oven at 200 degrees. Then put tyres on a tray for 5 mins turn tyres over for another 5 minutes then just take tyres off the rim. Be careful as they will be very hot. This way you can use the inserts again as well.

Do you keep the tyre above the acetone so it doesn't come into contact? How long it take, and it doesn't effect the tyre or insert?
