Schumacher Silver Tyres and Acetone

[i4n]

Does anyone have any experience of using acetone to remove Schumacher Silver tyres? I've got a new set on pin drive wheels but now use hex drive wheels and wonder if they'll go all funny in the process.

Cheers,

Ian

Yeah they shrink and go rock solid! Don't bother trying :-)

I heard exactly the same story as John is describing. Instead, you might want to consider boiling them in water for a few hours

I always boil my tyres off rims and can say for sure they won't take hours to boil the glue away. If you keep the wheel submerged the glue will come away within about 45 mins to an hour.
Be careful pulling the tyre away from the rim once boiled especially with silver compounds as they could easily tear.

Being careful I've removed silver compound tyres before using this method.

Have you tried baking them?

Some compounds boil off fine, some don't. I tried to boil off schumacher cut staggers in green and they went all warped.
