like rubber
if so
cut as much of the tire off as you can and let the rims soak in acetone (sp?) for 24 hours they peel the remaining bit of tire off then let them soak for a further 24 hours
then oyu are all ready to put new tires on

I agree. I've tried a handful of times and it's a big pain in the neck. I've found if you are really careful when you first glue the tires, it's only slightly less annoying than, say, rebuilding a pullstart or trying to solder with one arm tied behind your back...
