I first did this with 4 motorcycle tires. Yesterday I needed an old car tire removed before shipping. The shops tire machine is getting moved to a new shop and I didn’t feel like driving to my regular mechanic. I first cut the tire completely around the sidewall. Then made a notch in the rubber to the bead. Used the pair of box cutters in the pic to cut the bead. The whole process took 5 minutes.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Sharp knife that won’t break when I push through the rubber. Took 2 minutes to cut around the sidewall. I have a couple of these (Harbour freight) in my toolbox, car, shipping supplies, etc. Work fine for this kind of stuff. Cheap if I loose them. Attached thumbnail(s)
