cutting the rubber is easy, its the steal belted sidewalls that will own you. also the lip of the tire is on the rim. you will probably damage the rim in the process of cutting the sidewall.

Hey nick where do you work?

They're my friends attempt at painting my rims that had my blizzaks on.
Don't give a about the tires and i will end up repainting the rims.

Thanks all

Well i took my frustration out on one of them with a hand drywall saw ate right through the sidewall like butter. I might try that some more tomorrow
It relieves stress

that little metal ring that attaches itself to the rim is the hardest part. The rest of the tire is pretty easy! Good luck, i did it on one rim and then gladly paid someone to take off the rest

you think it relieves stress now, wait until you get to the tire bead, where it meets the rim and let me know if you feel the same way after that. Not a fun job and you'll be doing this after

No bought new powder coated AP1's so these ones that i was still rocking the blizzaks on are off now. Blizzaks are dead and i want to repaint them to use for track next season.
