Ha-Ha. It wasn't so much about the money as it was the challenge of getting the tire off of the rim with simple tools. Thanks for your comment and for watching.
We used a saws all to cut the tires just like you did. Then because we were scrapping out the aluminum rims we simply just took a new blade and cut right into the rim at 90 degrees and thus cutting also the inner tire piece left on the rim, right through the wire and then cutting that rubber tire piece in half... Off came the leftover tire pieces. Worked like a charm and no big deal on the cut into the rim any way...
Yes, I did try this. I found that the cutoff disk makes A LOT smelly smoke when cutting through the tire. That's what inspired me to try the oscillating multitool; little to no smoke. Thanks for your comment and for watching.
What a "bummer" eh? Yup, I was down to the ratchet strap with the floor jack last night. Had the tire stand torn out of the concrete floor already. I had cut the sidewalls off before and then when finally taking the wheels to the local gas station and shop where they scolded me for having made things worse even with their machines (having cut the sides off). Love what you do....thank you much. Best regards.
Thanks for your comment. Yes, I can see where cutting the sidewalls off would make it more difficult for the tire machine to break the bead and get the remaining part of the tire off. If you don't care about the rim, I've seen others use a 4.5" electric grinder with a thin cut-off disk to cut through the bead and into the rim (which makes the bead and the rest of the tire come off very easily, but ruins the rim). If you do care about the rim, then a tire machine is best. If you don't have access to a tire machine, maybe the method I showed in the video might work for you. Thanks for watching.
@@ImaginethenMake Soon I can get my wife free from her work. I'm going to heat the sidewall with a heat gun and then to the bead breaker on my tire stand (fixed the concrete floor). If this doesn't work I'm going to go on with your technique here. Again wish there was some sort of solvent for the rim & bead. Don't want to damage the rim (cause I'm a cheap so and so). Best regards & thanks again!
@@alborgdenmark26 may I know what worked for the rims? I'm faced with the same set of challenges, I haven't asked the tire shop yet if they can salvage it
Hi Michael. Thanks for your comment. I actually have a history of trying to remove auto tires from rims. In my first attempt here th-cam.com/video/suYfkbVAKG0/w-d-xo.html , I settled for just cutting off the tire and leaving the bead behind. In my 2nd attempt here, th-cam.com/video/K8uIcuQHOyI/w-d-xo.html , I did manage to break the bead using a floor jack, but it was a lot of physical work. The video you are commenting on is my 3rd attempt. Even though this video shows the amount of work I put into removing the tire, most of the work was figuring out how to do it (figuring out which simple tools work best). The key this time around was in using the oscillating multi-tool. Once I understood how best to use this tool on the tire, it really was not that bad. I have one more rim to do and then I'll be off to the scrapyard. As I tried to describe in the video, I'm motivated by first trying to lessen what goes into the landfill and 2nd by making a few extra dollars. The spare bucks are good but not the main purpose. Thanks again for your comment and for watching.
After cutting off the tyre, wouldn't a small mulit-tool like a Dremel (or similar) not be more precise and effective at cutting through the metal beams? I mean, you will certainly go through a handful of the bits. But you would avoid gouging the rim. I type this as I plot doing the above.. Maybe I'm wrong, but hopefully I'm right. HA.
Hi Jim. I haven't tried what you suggest but it sounds like it might work. In my case, I was scraping the rims so I didn't care if I gouged them up a bit. Maybe next time I'll try a Dremel. I'd be interested to hear how it works out for you so feel free to post here again. Thanks for your comment and for watching.
@@ImaginethenMake Yea, so, it worked a charm. The hardest part was getting through the tyre without scuffing the rim up. My tyres were exceptionally tight. Like, to the point the local mechanic was having difficulty removing them with their pneumatic devices. I opted to do them myself then return for the tyres to save on labour costs. All the best.
@@Jim_Kay. may I ask if you directly took the Dremel to it or gouged out some rubber with the oscillating multi-tool first? I have a Dremel but not the latter, I tried a bit with the Dremel, but stopped since I was worried about cutting too deep, the wires exposed with the multi-tool will be useful I guess? Also what bit/wheel did you use? I tried with a small cutoff disc Cheers thanks for reading and potentially responding
Just clicked on your video for the love of God Almighty stop don't damage them rare limited run rims been power coated to hide the fact that they are very valuable. You have the holy mowly mother Mary miracle right there you'll never have to go dumper diving. I might be wrong. I usually am
LOL. These rims were trash when I picked them up so I wanted to take the tires off (using the very crude tools on hand) and sell the rims at the scrapyard. Thanks for your comment and for watching.
I think an alternative title could be “how to make 75 cents per hour recycling”. Damn that was funny. Thanks

I believe you talked me out of ever attempting this. 😁 How much for one wheel?

couldnt you knock that with a air or power hammer?
Not sure. I don't own either of those.
