have a tire shop do them are they dry rotted/cracked? you got a tire machine? by hand with a tire iron and bumper jack using the front of a car to break the bead down with the foot of the jack make sure you mark the direction of the tire and what corner they came of,for the new owner of old tires

Got a set of GT wheels, but want to keep them and sell the GT radials, I want to remove them, but I doubt they've been off the wheels since '78.
What would be a good way to prep them for break down and removal w/o hurting the tire or it's looks?
the tires are junk. Who's going to buy tires that old??? UNSAFE

Soak em with tire lube on both sides. That way there lubed for when they break the beads and less likely to damage those old tires. I agree though, I would never run em on my car being that old. 31 years old? And I'd be afraid to sell em, because if they failed the buyer is not gonna be happy with you.
