Best way to remove tires from rims? - 01.02.2009, 06:24 PM
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!

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...

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

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

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.
