Acetone is the word here. get one of them largish plastic syringes and squirt liberal amounts of it right onto the tyre bead. usually takes 3-4 circles and some kneading to get em off but they do come off.

acetone is the go... u can get boiling water on a bucket and try that way... the other method is use the oven and stick them in there with ya dinner.. only problem then is it stinks ya whole home out and your dinner might be a bit chewy.. :)

soak each tyre and rim in a cup or bowl of acetone...you should then find the tyres easy to reove from the rim.
