As title says really,got some wheels I need to refurb with crap tyres on them and wanna know if theres anyway I can take the tyres off at home easily as I can't be assed to spend more money taking them to a garage.Not too bothered about damaging the tyres either.

garage is the only option to be honest as any home diy job is going to be messy and probably end up fucking the alloy more!!

Cheapest up this way is £9 per tyre, but that's to swap round, not just remove.
a flat crowbar does the trick, but I've seen my dad wrestling with a tyre for 30 mins to get it off.

Not worth the effort for the sake of a fiver.

There must be a grotty back street garage that'd do it cheap! There's loads round my way.

didn't realise it was so cheap...thought the cheapest round my way was £8 a tyre but I guess that must be to swap.
I'll just take it to the garage then.cheers
