Ok guys i bought a set of rims and im trying to get the tire off the rim but i am about to loose hope. See for yourselves.






Please give me suggestions.

Why didn't you just take it to a tire shop and have them unmount the tires?

i bought them like this. One tire is completely intact because its like brand new but the other three are all like this. Its like theyre glued on or something ive tried so many things

Try an air cutoff tool, and be careful not to nick the rim.

Wear gloves and eye protection, because when you cut through those tensioned wires in the bead they are going to snap.

I would like to know why 3 tires are like this!?!? Anyway, the cut-off wheel is your best, if not your only option here. Just be careful...

i tried cutting it and prying it with a pry bar and got to a bottom part of the tire where theres metal patterned close next to each other. But im not sure if its part of the rims or wire reinforcement of the bead. ______________________

Thas the pattern of the metal or wires.

If the rubber hasn't popped you haven't went deep enough yet.....hehe

OMG why! Thats crazy.

Ya you'll know when you cut through the steel belts in the rubber it will snap back a bit. good luck!

I worked in a rim shop and saw something like this. We had to heat the rubber with a torch.Im not sure what size tire or rim it is cause i really didnt see the first post. But it looks to me that the tire was stretched to fit the rim for an ultra low profile fit. Heat it with a torch and see if it loosens the tire, if not then ur going to have to cut it off. good luck man

How does this happen?
