Exclamation Regarding Tyre removal

Pedro,

Save yourself time and swearwords! Have old tyres removed by a truck tyre business.

I spent ages on two old cheasy tyres (40-50yrs old at least).

Tried easy things first - no good

Tried sledge hammer - no good, just bounced.

Tried crow bar WITH sledge hammer - no good, tyre laughed at me.

Tried cutting through wall with grinder - no good, just stunk to high hell and got nowhere.

Tried local truck tyre place - DONE, and they now semi hate me.

They will hate me completely when I take another two tyres there this week.

No, seriously, farm the job out!
