dismount a mounted tire

Also your dinner might taste like rubber too. Not sure how you will explain that to the wife.

I had some foams react very badly and some not too bad. Some swell up to roughly double the size and then shrink back once the acetone evaporates. You are just going to have to try it and see really. As far as the rubber and plastic wheels go they will be fine but most of the time the chrome finish will just flake away.
