You can use super glue, but super glue tends to get stiff and crack away after a while you really should use some sort of tire glue like this stuff [link=http://allaboutfunhobbies.com/store/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/6/products_id/1056]http://allaboutfunhobbies.com/store/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/6/products_id/1056[/link] or any type of CA glue.

to get your tires off easier, when you want to replace them. Only glue the tire in around 5 spots on both sidees. easier to remove when they are worn out.

Boil them in hot water they will expand but be careful not to burn yourself.

Be carefull when you boil them. i have heard of alot of people warping their rims by boiling them. best thing to do is to buy CA glue deactivator. it disolves the glue to get them off easier.
