Removing tyres

[Smurfster]

Brut force and ignorance works for me, rip them off, then use a small square file to take off the remanents. Super clean rim, no discolouration, no fumes. Works for me.

+1 for that method. I was using the other ones like acetone and really I find them a hassle in the longer term.

For some old yz10 rims and tyres I used a sharp pair of scissors (e.g. Ones for lexan) and basically cut through the tyres. Then "peeled" off the tyres with brute force and cleaned up the remnants.

It does take longer but I personally cont be doing with fumes and chemicals now!

Just make sure you're not cooking the dinner at the same time

in the oven is quick, but the smell is very very very bad and stays around a loooong time; not recommended

I use 100% pure acetone and works great, sealed conainer, i use one that you can fit 8 wheels/tyres in, a cm of acetone in the bottom, come back 36 hours later, they peel off. done. wheels clean and ready for the new lot. give the wheels a wash to remove any bits left.

Alos the boiling works to. but prefer acetone.....

I use nail varnish remover to strip mine!
I always used to use the wifes but found that it always gave me a cold dinner and black eye! so now I use the supermarket own brand with the highest content!

The best advice if you do use the oven is to just not get caught!
