boil them in water for 15 minutes or so, or put them in the oven. you still need to be careful removing them since you can still tear the tire. you might also need new foams

I just did the Acetone trick & it works great. I let this one sit in for 2 days & the tire pealed right off, & foam still fine.

I will probably try the aceton trick....The aceton doesn't affect the tire in any way,right?
