Just what he said. I forgot to mention you need to flip the tire. It floats so.....
Boil them and once their off the wheel, clean them up some and your ready to glue them on a different wheel.
When I started racing, I use to try and remove the tires off the wheels. It got to be a major PITA and I would just buy new wheels and tires. Now I have about 100 sets of tires, some still like new, others bald as a babies bottom.
By the way, I don't race anymore so I have all these tires piled in a box. I'll probably toss them in the garbage.
