I have a set of alloys that I want to refurb, I want to know how hard is it to remove the tyre from the rim? All wheels need new tyres so should I use something to cut them off? Also what tyres should I put back on been looking at Toyo T1R, toyo proxes 4 and Yoko Prada also seen some called wanli anyone know what they are like? Cheers

Get them removed professionally, the tyres are made of metal so it's not that easy to cut them off.

I don't recommend pradas. I have them on the front of mine and in the wet it's nasty. stay away.
