    I find that the angle grinder 'grabs' badly when I cut thru the actual tread, so like he said 'Don't cut thru the tread'.

    Someone said he smashes the Ali rim with a axe to remove a chunk & then rotates the tire off thru the gap. Works on a Ali rim.

    I like the sawzall approach. I cut down thru the sidewall a little and then run right through the bead and the rim. You dont have to break the bead and because of the slit in the sidewall the tire slides rite off. The demolition blades or metal blades work the best. A good blade will do 10 rims. You dont get the sparks and flying rubber that the grinder kicks out. The only drawback is sometimes youll just about vibrate your dam fillings out and you have to give the saw a break because it starts gettin warm after a dozen wheels or so.
