Removing factory glued tires from wheel
What's the best way (if any) to remove the factory glued tires from the factory wheel? Don't care about saving the wheel, but I want to re-use the tires. I have heard that acetone will loosen up the factory CA glue...would boiling them work? Thanks!!

have been told that boiling them does work and there is also a product called flash back but you need patience to use it.

I preheat the oven to 425-450 degrees, then turn the oven off and stick the tires in on a 2x4/2x6 wood scrap, I leave them in for 45+ min/ untill they cool down to handle with a pair of gloves on, the heat crystalizes the c/a, squeazing the tires will pop right off the rim.
This does NOT hurt any natural rubber r/c tire or wheel.
