Is a good tire changing tool. I needed to put a new front tire on my Zero-turn mower, but the beads were not moving. I cut the tire off from the beads with the recip saw. I tried to cut the beads with a cold chisel but the curve of the rim prevented that so it took a combination of work with the saw, a screwdriver, and dykes to cut the wires. There was no way that those beads would ever have moved.
 
Use a gas axe, weld on or heat a tire rim with a tire still mounted or partially mounted, it will detonate and kill you.
Research "Pyrolysis" to understand why.

I am fairly sure he said, " I cut the tire off from the beads with the recip saw.." So no tire to explode.

Tried once to cut the wires of a tire bead with a sawzall. I saw that it was going to do more damage to the rim than the wires. Cutting torch took care of them in a few short seconds.
 
Gotcha, just did not want someone to get the wrong idea and do that, not going to end well if they do LOL !
 
This is why I have TWO Dremel tools both with the big carry cases. All kinds of
cutoff disks, grind stones, diamond cutting tools etc. Handiest little tools
you could ask for. Little cutter disks would go right through that. Take a
little time but it is like doing surgery.

Jeffcat, I have two Dremels as well. I don't have as many cutters as you but I do have the cut-off wheel and I have gone through a lot of those discs.
