200-250 for like 20 minutes... use gloves. Take them out and they almost fall apart.

Absolutley best method is acetone.
Get a new empty paint can from Home Depot and a gallon of acetone.
When you put your tires in the half full paint can, squeeze em and let em fill up with acetone and they will sink.
When they easily peel apart after a COUPLE days amd you are very gentle you can save even the foams. They'll be huge and very delicate until they dry out but they will be good as new (if they were new when you soaked em).
I did this with brand new tires, rims and foams. Hated the firm foams and wanted to go to mediums but put the firms in a different set for a different application and everything was perfect, no picking or even wiping. Glue melted completely and tires were soft and fresh as new.
Thanks again Mr. Hartsen, Steven's dad.

I agree! Can't beat it. It removes all the glue, so you dont have to sand or pick the glue off the wheels or tires. I havent tried the oven method, but I have tried boiling the tires. Who wants to mess with scolding hot water while trying to peel tires off of rims? Not me. The acetone starts working only after about 15mn.

ill have to try that acetone way. is it better to let the fumes eat away at the glue, or the actual liquid acetone to eat away at the glue?
