If your buying new tires just wait untill you can get new rims there only like $5 new

I dont think they will warp, but boiling usually doesnt work. I guess it depends on what glue you use. After trying it you will probably find that its definitly not worth the trouble.

Only $5.00. :eek: Wish I was rich. I wait till I have a bunch of rims to remount tires on and bake them at 275 deg for about 15 min. or untill the glue breaks easy and the tires come off. Then use a wire brush on a dremal to clean the rims a little more. Be carefull of the hot parts and other fire hazzards. But 8 pairs of rims is $40.00.

yeah, i hear that crazy1. i usually boil them just because my roommates complained about the smell when i baked them once. a knife works too, you just have to be careful...i've got a couple of nice little gashes because of using a knife to get old tires off.

8 sets of rims. you must go through tires fast. I have 7 RC's and have not worn out 8 sets of tires in the past 4 years i have been into RC.

All the good tires with high grip wear out too fast. Some racers wear out a set in one heat.
