Default how to take tires off??

Well i'm selling some wheels,
but they have tires on em, and the buyer doesnt want em(would be cheaper to ship without tires)

SO, now I know I can go to a tire shop and have the tires removed..
but that costs money,
is there any way I can do it myself? or basically free.. I dont care about destroying the tires.

thanks

Friend of mine said if you don't want to keep the tires, just hack saw the top and bottom till you get close to the rim, then use some metal sheers to cut close to the rim (to avoid scratching it). Then you should be able to pull the two halves off by hand.

Oh be sure to deflate it first.

tryin to save money man!
10bux saved is 10bux earned!!
ppl are always trying to save a buck when you sell em stuff.. so i'll probly lose much more than 10 to taxes.. helping paying shipping, and other bs.. so I want to get the tires off for free.

Just pay $10 to get them off. There's no point in saving a little money there. I think you can take it off, but most likely, you'll damage the wheels/tire.

jeez, it's $10, sometimes saving some money isn't worth the hassle it'll put you through, and you probably will damage either the tire or the wheel

you can always pay $10 to get the tires off and sell them to someone for $10

or i'm sure someone would pay a few bucks to get some used tires in any condition

it is better than the risk of scratching the rims......... plus the hassle
