Default How do I unglue tires or should I just patch them up?

Hello there i just need to know the best way to "unglue" a tire as the stock gluing on my hyper was not very good and i was wondering whether i should patch up the bits of tire that have fallen off the rim or redo the whole thing. If so, how do you unglue them?

Of course you can reuse the wheel (not 'rim'). As for the tire I'm not sure but I don't see why not.

No, you need medium or thin CA glue.
