RE: Removing tires
I just cook the wheels in a pan of hot water for 10-15 minutes until the glue is nice and soft and then pull the tyre off the rim, no problemo. Dont forget to wear gloves though as the wheels get HOT HOT HOT.

RE: Removing tires
Yep I second Big Vic's idea. Baking them seems to work best. I've done it a couple of times and it works great. It doesn't mess up the foam or anything. Boiling them worked, but the foams lost their "foaminess" for lack of a better word. bake 350 for 10-15 min.
