    Cutting them is such a challenge because tires have tempered steel bands running through them for reinforcement. Let all of the air out of the tire by pushing on the valve with a screwdriver. Take a crow bar and press between the tire and the rim prying the tire off the rim. Do this all the way around one side of the wheel, then all the way around the other side. It takes a lot of effort!
