Pop into your local tyre place and give the boys a drink :y :y

You need to take the valve out and break the bead... Then you'll be able to do it with a couple of lever bars :y :y

You'll get around £5.00 a wheel so the tyre fitter experience may not be worth while. Drill a hole in the tyre close to the bead & then jigsaw them towards the rim. Once you've popped the bead they should come off easy :)

Also if they happen to be pigs to remove (sometimes they can be). Drive over the tyre with the wheel on a vehicle & that'll do the trick :y Be carefull that the wheel & tyre don't flip up & damage your vehicle ;)

It's best done slowly with someone watching.

Deflate the tyre (properly), break the bead, then lever it off.

So just to get this straight (although I'm sure most here have worked it out)....you attacked rubber with a metal cutting disc...and then wondered why you were breathing in s**t?  :o
