Tia. jon Thumbs Up!

Pop into your local tyre place and give the boys a drink Thumbs Up!

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 Thumbs Up!

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

Dec 2009 at 16:22 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 Be carefull that the wheel & tyre don't flip up & damage your vehicle It's best done slowly with someone watching.

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? Shocked
