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

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. ______________________

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
