Some people bake their tires and the tires just pop off. They leave a bad odor though.

Oven is best. I'm gonna go find the tutorial on how to do it.
Found it. Bake it for at 350F for 15 min. then the glue will get gooey. Then you can peel them off.

You could use an exato knife to get any little extra bits an pieces off, but some times its just easier to buy new wheels to go with the new tires, and don't forget to use a hot pad when you pull your tires out of the oven...

Or, you could spend like another $10-$15 dollars to pick up new rims and save yourself a lot of headaches. Literally, the smell the hot tires leaves will give u a killer one, and it sticks around for days.

Tire glue is actually super glue. The active ingrediant is cyanoacrylate. The same in super glue. Not sure if it will discolor your rims or damage the tires but paint thinner or nailpolish remover will take care of the glue. Again, I an NOT sure if it will damage your rims or tires. Just so we're clear.
