i tried, disc grinder, sawzall...my beefy tire irons were too big, and i didnt wanna bend my moto ones.
anyways one tire is deflated with a huge hole in the sidewall from the attempt
the disc grinder filled the garage up with smoke after grinding a 1 inch line into the tire...so multiply that by 1000 to get the tire off.
