How can I unglue my tires from the wheels?
Hey guys,
I want to take the tires off of the wheels on my truck. How can I safely unglue the tires from the wheels without causing damage to the wheels and tires? I am on a tight budget and could really use your help. Thank you so much and have a great day!

Never was able to get them off by boiling them but puting them on a cookie sheet in a preheated 300 Deg F. oven for a few minutes works pretty good. CA breaks down under heat. You will need to have a couple of oven mitts ready so you don't get burned. Try to gently removve the tire so you don't split the rubber in spots if the glue has not turned loose. You may have to put them back in for a few more minutes. Two warnings: it STINKS and some rims can't stand the heat.
