Whats the best way to get tyres of steelies yourself, without paying the garage??

 

Remove the air, break the seal between the tyre bead and wheel, then attack with some old skool tyre levers!!

 

A huge spoon like the good old bmx days

 

Remove the air, break the seal between the tyre bead and wheel, then attack with some old skool tyre levers!!

as above easy if you know what you are doing

 

I used to get a right bollocking for bending me mums cutlery doing that!!

 

Bent 2 knives already.....she will go mad

 

take it to a garage and save the cost of a new cutlery set

and the bollocking fro the mother/mrs

 

easier to give a local tyre shop Ł10 to get them off in seconds

 

you will never do it with knives.. best off taking it to a local shop

do you need the wheel and tyre after

 

angle grinder cut straight through the side wall then cut the beed. Or just take it to a local tyre fitting place.

 

You can't be that fucking skint?!!

 

burn em off

the neighbours will love it too

 

No I have like 50 steelies and want to weigh them in so need the tyres off!!

 

do not burn it off, the toxins released are deadly

 

Haggle with a local tyre garage? You might be able to get a cheap price if you ask for 50 done.

 

air out, break bead then use a couple of largeish screw drivers and plenty of fairy liquid if your keeping the tyres. Piece of piss

 

Break the seal between the tyre and the wheel, you'll end up with the tyre lever hitting you beside the head, skin removed from your fingers, beleve me doing a car tyre yourself is a lot harder than a truck tyre, take it to the tyre garage.

 

let air out break bead and use two tyre levers to lift tire over rim

 

one word, GRINDER

I used to do it all the time, you will need to cut through the rim to get to the bead but if your weighing them in it dont matter, also no need to let the air out grinder does that for you and no it wont go bag in your face, watch the grinder dont kick back as its grips well on the rubber.

 

Not to found of the grinder idea, seen a lad on tv doing that and the disc gripped and shattered and ended up in his face. I tried with a screwdriver its hard!!

 

you've got no chance with a screw driver, if you dont like the grinder get a RECIPROCATING SABRE SAW with a metal blade in it (i've also done this in the passed but takes longer )

No it's not, so you'd rather do a supersingle then a car tyre on a steel wheel lol

 

Have you tried reasoning with them?

 

Ive seen somebody use a spade and a crow bar

 

the amount you'd spend in cutting discs or tools, would be more than they are worth.

At cheapest, buy a couple of tyre levers, and a big round steel bar or something.

 

you can use pretty much anything mate, it's a tyre

 

my mate takes them of for free now but before that stihl saw time was the best way i found

 

i used to pay a quid a tyre, fuck that now i cut the bead with a grinder and it all comes off easy BUT what are you gonna do with the tyres??

the scrap value is less than the value of a good pack of grinding disks and tyres are Ł1.50 to dispose of,

please dont dump them, i live in the sticks and am sick of twats doing it in my clean and plesent land



for the money dont bother

if the tyres are legal advertise them on ebay for 99p (no fees then) and gumtree etc etc

local scrappers may takem without charge

 

method in madness mate

 

If you have a lot then I would wait till november. A few fireworks as well and job done. Just dont toast any marshmalows on the fire

 

i got some levers and old style one of these..

poor a bit of white sprits on the tyre get a hose ready burn it off and put the fire out with the hose

 

are the tyres any good? ive got a mobile tyre company, we could work something out if the tyres are ok

 

Let the air out and drive over the tyre - this breaks the bead. Take a while for all those wheels though...

 

lol seen a programme once about a guy that did this, the disc shattered and stuck in his head like the guy from hellraiser 2or3

 

Yeah I possibly seen the same program. It shattered in his face and he was blinded!
