Yep........that's what I hear, tho I've only done it once, I found it to be more work than it's worth, I prefer just buying tires and wheels as a set, then again I'm 32 years old with a full time job and a household and feel that my recreation time is too valuable to waste it on boiling tires ........I'd rather be bashing

Bake the tires in an oven at 350 degrees for 20-25 mins.

I boiled them -- not fun. Ruins the chrome, too, so if you want to use the rims for some nice street tires, the chrome is shot. I think baking is easier on the chrome.

I have Q6 wheels and they are stronger than stock.

make sure you turn the oven off when you put the tires in
