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

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

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 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

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?
