Does anyone know of any easy way to get a tyre off a wheel rim. I have been given several wheels and i intend to scrap the steel rims.
I have tried an angle grinder and it just made a hell of a mess.
Many thanks in advance.

Remove the tyre valve and release the air.. then prise the tyre off using tyre levers is the normal procedure. That's okay if you have the equipment.

The safest way is to take them down to your local tyre fitters and chuck them a tenner and some jam doughnuts.

If I were you I'd do as alavahalf suggests and take them to the local tyre fitters, those tyre irons don't half hurt if they slip !.

The tyre in the clip had been off a few times by the look of it as the bead seal was broken.Good tyre levers will do the job but you may struggle to break the bead seal.

Deflate the tyre, jack the car up slide the tyre underneath another wheel and lower the jack the weight will break the bead off the rim the wield the tyre levers..... I do this with tubeless motorbike tyres... but as other have said take to your nearest friendly garage

Then take them back to have them fitted to new rims.

I don't know why I am in this part of AB.

What can you do with a tyre without a rim? I take it that they are not designed to come off.

You put the good tyres onto your own chosen rims.

I think he wants to put the tyres on some different rims, wolf. They are designed to come off, difficult without the correct tools though.

Even with the right tools it can be a sod at times!! The tyres I use on my trials bike take upwards of 100psi to pop onti the rim properly... can be scary and when a lever slips.... profanity and expletives abound
