is it possible to remove tyres from wheels yourself ??
if so how do people do it, im not bothered about damaging the alloy as it'll only be getting weighed in
and taking them to a tyre place isnt an option just yet

Breaking the bead will be a bitch to do without a machine, if you get that done then it should be fairly easy with a couple of tyre levers or something similar.

I managed to get mine off, it is just a case of leavering with screw drivers all the way around and lots of fairy liquid.

If you havnt got a bead breaker, Try driving over the trye when its flat on the floor, this should pop the bead. Used to do this with the bike tyres and always worked
