well the topic pretty much explains it i ordered a set of new rims for my rc and i didnt get tires cuz i dont have the money for them rite now and my original rims r pretty much shot all bent up and didtorted so i was wondering wut u guys thought on how to remove my stok tires from the stock glued rims?
 
I've tried the oven, and boiling them, imo boiling works best. i used my burner for crawfish, tossed them in a pot, and let them boil for a good 20 to 30 min. then pulled them out and used a nut driver to slowly loosen up the bead, (go round and round the wheel like you see them do at a tire shop) and it poped right off. just remember the rubber will be softer from the boiling. if you hit a tough spot toss it back in the water and do the other one.
 
ok thanx I'm gonna try that but wuts a nut driver?
