I want the Registered Idiot to tell me, Uri Geller is probably not so safe with those things..
BTW - I have never had any major explosions in the lab so i think i am perfectly safe

We used to put a plank on the tyre with the end up to the rim then drive up it to break the bead then use tyre levers to fetch it off the rim. You
need to do both sides in a few places so it's a long process but ultimately satisfying when it works

yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

So does that mean if i refurnished some alloy wheels I know someone i can trust to fit the rubber?
(and can you do it on a monday night between trying to steal the credit for figuring out how the uprights fit together and ignoring my rants on the
environment?)

Well, it would all depend on the size of the spoon, plus what material they are made from.
Then again, you still need to actually break the bead.
As for being the registered idiot, I had a very similar comment about the avatar earlier.
If I put registered genius no-one would believe it, as avatars are meant to be a little bit of fun.
I will, once again, point out, that the internet makes it very hard to express emotion. A little smiley, or a "LOL" might make people
think you are joking.
Scarily, I don't think you are.
Here's an idea for you, it might work, it might not.
Hook the tyre up to your compressor and just put 10 bar in it. Should blow it clean off the rim.
Even better, if you know any divers, hook it up to their compressor, because 232bar will definitely shift it.

Just so everyone feels better, I've changed my avatar. Who else is in this club?? There must be a few.
Although, I haven't paid the fee in years

Very much "one vs the rest" on this subject!!! Simple answer to the OP - do whatever the hell you like and dont bother asking in
future!!!! You've proved yourself to be a moron and quite frankly if you want to risk your alloys then i hope you slip and damage one with your
cutting disk. Dont expect us to be nice if your next thread is "i've managed to damage the rim of my alloy - what do i do to repair
it??" £20 will seem the bargain of the century if you damage a rim but if you are determined to do it then go for it.

I'd pay to have the tyre removed at my local garage and then say I'd take the tyres away. Paint 'em up, fill them with compost and
grow spuds in them. When you need to earth up you just add another tyres on the pile and a load of compost....
How green is that

If I damage anything, that's my problem and i have learned the hard way so don't worry about it.
Cheers for the guys who actually posted some constructive comments, as for the rest, you need to seriously loosen up!

Smart people learn from their mistakes. Very smart people learn from other people's mistakes. I've cut tyres off wheels before when I
was too much of a tight arse to pay for it. Takes bloody ages and is hard work. Typical case of trying to do a job without the right equipment. I
can assure you there is no satisfaction, let alone enjoyment, to be gleaned from the task. Tyre removal and disposal is something I'm very
happy to pay for - like having my bins emptied, and living in a house with a flushing toilet. Don't bother wasting your time.
