Default Wheel Question

Look in the stickies and didn't see anything. Trying to figure out the best way to dismount the tires. Any help would be appreciated.

Tire shop well are you going to try it by hand or what? Or you could just burn them down until they fell off

Is this going to be on good rims? Then i would say take it to a tire shop, but if it something like old wheels ect. you can take a high lift jack and put the base on the tire close to the rim and the jack under a bumper and seperate the tire from the rim that way. This is how we do our 4x4 tires
