Removing A Tyre

Recommended Posts

Anyone know a way that i can remove a tyre from a wheel without a tyre machine?

 

I don't mind destroying the tyre.

Easiest way is to go to national tyres etc-ask for a price for new tyres-tell them you need to get wheels sprayed before new tyre-see if they'll take it off for a couple of pound-then you'll go back and get new tyres from them-then never go back lol

OR take a hacksaw to tyre-this is safer than trying to drive over edge-but is a pain in arse-you'll get halfway through and wish you'd never started (believe me)-cords are incredibly strong and beads are surprisingly thick

Have hack sawed one off, don't waste your time, take it to a local fitter he will have it off in a jiffy, well worth a fiver.

depends on the tyre tbh, if its a stubborn bugger then yeah I'd pop round the local family owned place with a pack of biscuits, then take the tyre to the local tip as you can dispose of one or two at a time there FOC, the tyre men have to pay to dispose of them so will usually charge.

 

if its a fairly flexible tyre I have in the past hacked through the sidewall with secateurs removing the tread then lever the beads down off the seat.

 

its a good workout! :D
