I searched here and google and didn't find anything so any help would be great. I bought a set of thinspokes with run flats on them and I want to remove the tires to powder coat the wheels. I have access to a tire machine, so are there any tricks to getting them off without destroying the wheels or tires.

Thanks Zach

you have to be pretty carefull, because the sidewalls are so rigid. I would just take my time and make sure the machine you are using is capable of removing and mounting low profile tires

well, do you want to save the tires? if they dont have any tread left on them....sawzall. call me a redneck, but i used to work at a dealership and every time we'd get a corvette or CTS-V with worn out runflats we would cut them off. its not impossible to remove them, but to do so without messing up the wheels is pretty difficult. putting them on isnt too bad though.

its not hard at all, if you can change the tires easily with your machine you should have no problem

+1 worked at discount for a long time. Its fairly easy if your any good at working the machine.
