What would be a good way to prep them for break down and removal w/o hurting the tire or it's looks? "Multiple Magnum owner since 1978!!" https://www.facebook.com/groups/146952895354657/

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. Last edited by Challenger 1; 07/16/09 02:15 PM.

You need to take them to a tire shop - after you take a big knife and slice open the side walls. Fastest 300
