you will possibly damage the alloy when you have to cut through the steel belt against the rim.

your best bet is try to brake the bead with some kind of press or vise, get a few lever bars and something to protect the rim, and take the tyre off the normal way.. or get a quote from a tyre place. wont be more than £20

EDIT: if your just scrapping them.. why waste your time, just take them to a scrap yard as they are

Not a good idea to burn rubber. Metal disc since there is metal in the tyre.

I'd probably just use a metal slitting disc.
