Re: unmounting/removing tires from wheels - Can it be done at home? (Kyli)
First get out your mothers spoons and butter knives and...oh wait that's for a bicycle tire. I would have to say no as an automotive tire is simply too stiff to bend around a rim with hand tools. That 's why hydraulic machines are used at tire centers. Feel free to try it and prove me wrong.
Oh and once again "I accept no liability for your actions"
