without cutting them off, it is hard not to mark them.

let all the air out and cut them off.
You could try and lever them off with a screwdriver like on pushbikes but it will probs damage your wheels and might not even work

You're best letting a garage do it, angle grinder will do it but it will make a right mess and will stink.
