Removing tyres

[rich67]

Whats the best way of getting old tyres(rubber) off the rims so that you can use the rims again??

acetone

although in 8th people hardly ever re use their rims as they get pretty scuffed up & never seem to glue up very well the second time around!

Agree 100% ... not worth the hassle given the price of new rims

i use my tyres for a few runs then sell them on as used tyres and if i do ever wear a set right out i keep them for running in engines.its just not worth the hassel of unglueing them

Boil em for 8 mins in your best saucepan. They'll pull right off.

I use this method but only 50% of the time does it work, ive been told too boil them for 10-15 mins then submerge in cold water imediately (sp?) after taken out of saucepan and it doesnt seem too work very well, am i doing somthing wrong?
