Re: how to cut a tire off a rim
Not sure what caused that to blow up? Fire burning inside the tire?

Re: how to cut a tire off a rim
If you are going to try cutting the tires off, you have to break the beads loose first. If you don't, you run the risk of damaging the bead seat area of the wheel when you cut the beads.
If the wheels are worth anything, I think I would just pay a tire shop to do it. Ray

Re: how to cut a tire off a rim
You can remove the tires with two tire spoons and some lube, with some practice at home it should take less than 5 minutes, once you get the technique down.

Re: how to cut a tire off a rim
Big truck tires are easy to take off with spoons and a tire hammer. Pickup truck tires are always a pain in the butt to do by hand, at least from my experience.

Re: how to cut a tire off a rim
I have taken tires off by lying them on the ground and running another truck over them to break the bead. May have to do it a couple of times but easier than cutting them. If your on gravel careful not to damage them. Im a truck driver and have seen alot of tires changed on a Semi all done by hand. Man do they make it look easy.

Re: how to cut a tire off a rim
Yeh, I do the same. Whenever I buy tires I always take the old ones home with me. No way am I going to pay someone else to give my tires a politically correct "disposal".
