Default Tires

Is there really any way to get a brand new tire off of the rim ??? I cracked a rim & have brand new crime fighter on it. I was told to boil but will that work or should I just trash it & go on Thanks

Yes boiling will work and is how I do it. Seems like acetone would eat up the foam insert but do not know as I have all ways boiled mine. Take about 15 to 20 minutes. What wheels do you have? I hope they are not Ofna tru lites.

Did the wheels come in a pack of 6? I tried the Tru-Lites and they did not hold up well at all. I have talked to many others that had the same problems.
This is how I basically remove my tires and works great.
