I'm looking to remove some tires off my wheels but can't break the bead loose. How do you do it yourselfers accomplish this with out a tire machine? I've ran car/truck tires over with my truck to break the bead but I'm not sure how these little guys will handle it. They're 85r wheels if that helps

I recently did a set that were really stuck on there by running them over with a truck, works great! :) They were on a set of stock Honda aluminum rims. I was kinda worried I might bend them, but they were fine.

I had to use a cylinder jack on top of my tire under my reciever hitch on my truck. The jack pushes down on it to break em loose.
