Default Glueing tires

Ok wasn't sure this was necessary but after spitting off both front tyres within 10 mins of running yesterday I think I need to revise my opinion.

Is there a trick to doing it, or just a few dabs of superglue under the bead? Or maybe something like copydex that might not be so permanent?

I use a RC type glue, I just put some on and let it run round the whole wheel/tyre, dont have any problems.
Then when the tyre is finished, into a tub of acetone for a few days and it comes off a treat.

Myself I put the tyres on and make sure they are fairly true and then run a littlebit of thin super glue all the wayround the edge. it gives enough to seal the tyre on but with a bit of a tug you can get them of the rims to put some new tyres on.

This works well with UK tyres and is what I do i.e. thin glue run all the way round for a bead. However it doesn't work very well for american tyres usually, whenever we run them I'm forever having to re-glue them after each run to get them to stay on!

Thanks eveyone. Superglue around the bead it is. Think mine were only coming off so much because the rear diff was undoing making my car FWD and putting a lot more load through those wheels.

Yes...same for me... I would like to use some glue other cyano(commoly called super-glue) to make it easier to remove the tyres. What about noeprene glue ?

BTW, I tried acetone to remove the tyre from a cyano-glued wheel. To my suprise it had not effect !
I have put a few acetone drops at the junction between the rubber and the plactic of the wheel. Does it really need to soak for a long time ?

your supossed to immerse the whole wheel in a sealed tub of acetone of any size depending on how many wheels you want to acetone off at a time for one day maybe two.

So rubber (schum or Proline compound) doesn't desolve in acetone, in that 24h laps of time ?

Given the volatility of acetone, it can be dangerous to let it evaporate into any room. Do you put a cap on the tank to prevent evaporation of acetone ?

No they don't dissolve or even weaken in the acetone at all i've left tyres in for weeks by mistake and they were still fine, and yes I said sealed container meaning it neads to have a snug lid so to not let the vapours out! When I have acetone it stays in my shed and I don't touch it without some rubber gloves on and the door wide open so I don't get intoxicated with fumes! All schumacher tyres accept green compound are fine in acetone but the green compound isn't happy with it and hardens into a blue like compound when put in acetone I've only had very few proline tyres in acetone and they were fine but not certain if all of prolines compounds would be ok in it.

if u want to get your tyres off abit quicker than afew days, you can cut them down the middle, take the insert out and boil them for about 20min (or longer just keep trying them) in a pan of water, and pull the rubber off the bead,seems to work to me.

I do what Mike says - overnight in an old plastic biscuit tin with the lid on half submerged in Acetone is usually long enough. No affect on the rims, inserts or even the rubber. Sometimes i get a yellow residue on the rubber but its easily removed with hot soapy water and a stiff brush.

I use the MuchMore CA Rubber glue - its really thin and gets well into the bead

If you're interested in removal, try freezing your wheel/tyre combo that you want to release. At low temperatures cyanoacrylate (superglue) becomes brittle, and should just crack and you can pull the tyres off.
