Pop into your local tyre place and give the boys a drink :y :y

You need to take the valve out and break the bead... Then you'll be able to do it with a couple of lever bars :y :y

You'll get around £5.00 a wheel so the tyre fitter experience may not be worth while. Drill a hole in the tyre close to the bead & then jigsaw them towards the rim. Once you've popped the bead they should come off easy :)

Also if they happen to be pigs to remove (sometimes they can be). Drive over the tyre with the wheel on a vehicle & that'll do the trick :y Be carefull that the wheel & tyre don't flip up & damage your vehicle ;)

It's best done slowly with someone watching.

I'm not f**king surprised to be honest (http://www.natadsltest2.clara.co.uk/img/rofl.gif)

Deflate the tyre (properly), break the bead, then lever it off.

So just to get this straight (although I'm sure most here have worked it out)....you attacked rubber with a metal cutting disc...and then wondered why you were breathing in s**t?  :o
