To do this, just put a 4 foot length of 2x6 like a ramp
up the tire, on the rubber only.
Drive a car up the ramp, pop.
Worth knowing, because often in restorations you'll want
to blast, clean, and paint a rim that came with a junk
tire on it. No point paying somebody to remove a tire
that is garbage when you aren't getting one mounted that
day either.
