Best way to remove tires from rims?
 

I have a set of brand new Proline Big Joes mounted on some Proline Mambo rims which are 14mm and they are all now stripped out. I would like to remove them in the safest way possible without damaging the tires. I dont care what happends to the rims. What is the easiest/safest way in doing this?


Thanks in advance!

boiling method is the best 4 the tires

How high should the temp be set at and for how long? I plan on doing this later tonight.

Just put the pan on simmer for 20 mins - the CA become brittle and tires should come of rim easily.

Be careful though as depending on the rubber the tires can get soft...

Simmer meaning...? Sorry chris Im not a cook.:rofl:

Bring water to boil and turn down gas to low... Just off boil...

Not a hard/rapid boil! Some CA remover wouldn't hurt before putting them in the water, if you have any. I would try putting that on when you start heating up the water. Only downfall is I wouldn't remount them at the same time unless you have new foams. Let them dry thoroughly

Haha, thanks. Ive tried those kind of chef teaching things and its official. I suck at cooking no matter whos trying to teach me.:lol:

Yes i normally wait a few days for everything to dry out...

PS tires and foams are very hot once removed from boiling water... strange concept but true - Also not foams fill with said boiling water which will spray out when foams are squeezed.

PPS Peanut butter may contain peanuts

Also make sure to wash the pan when your done so ur significant other, or mother doesn't kill you!

I have a specfic tire boiling and dying pan...

Dude your lying :intello:

Haha, thanks chris. No wonder I get sick everytime I eat peanut butter....:rofl:

Ok guys. Good news! I did end up boiling 3 of the 4 tires and they came off smooth as slick. I just let them sit in a pot of ice water after each one was done boiling. Only have one more to get off and Im done.:great:

thanks to this thread i finally boiled my tires. Works AWESOME!

BTW, is it just me or do you get dissy when you boil tires?:party:
