|  need help with stock tires.
What is the best way to get the stock tires off the stock wheels. I have heard of only one way...putting it in the freezer. What are some other ways? Thanks.

I'm guessing you still want them to be intact when this is done? I took the rings off mine and very very carefully used a razor blade to cut the tire off as close to the wheel as possible (kind of cutting at the glue itself and not so much the tire). One of my wheels I just pulled the tire right off as it only had like 2 drops of glue, the other 3 were a little tougher. |

That sounds a little better. People say when you put it in the freezer it freezes the glue and it will just crumble off. Any more ways? Thanks got a sol I may try that if no one else posts something. |

My first few sets early on just rolled off the wheel. I used 2 thumbs and gripped near the bead and rolled back after scoring with a sharp blade.

When I first got mine, i didn't even know they were glued, thought they were stuck, so I pulled really hard, and off they came... lol. Nothing tore though, probably got lucky. I ended up investing in beadlocks from BWD

Freezer method works good, as does just pulling them off after scoring them like spoo said.
