May give murphy's a try. After the video I tried some strait dish soap (ajax) and it too caused some rust but less than with water added. I need to try the same test with some aluminum.

Another trick is to use a car tire innertube. Inflate it inside the tire and let it expand it for a while then remove and mount.

@@thetinkeringold-timer6934 I didn't know they were still making those. Most wheels have been tubeless for a long time

@@richbinaz You can also use anything suitable to stretch them open. Some pieces of 2x4 etc.

A fine tooth metal cutting blade.

One of my three tractors was pole reversed. Always made it a pain to remember to get the right one. Much better now.

You are welcome. Glad it helped.

Thanks. Glad you liked it and hope it helps you.

OBVIOSLY most over used word lately.

I get that people use dish soap and water mixed because they aren't going to have real tire lube on hand. But yeah it can cause problems down the road. I tested straight dish soap on a steel bar and even without mixing it was showing rust the next day.

Great idea. I have a few ideas and I may do another video sometime.

Thanks. That's why I made the effort to share.

@@thetinkeringold-timer6934 Thank You

Good tips, thanks for sharing.

@@thetinkeringold-timer6934 Thank you. To be precise: Bosch S522EHM for example is one of the many carbide tipped 18tpi blades on the market.

I make many things with tires, I always watch to see if there is an easier way than the way I currently do it. i made a bunch of garden decor to sell. So far I made frogs in top hats that stand 3.5 feet tall, roosters, and pumpkins. I also made a teacup and teapot planter, wishing well planter and inverted flower planter.

Thank you! You too!

If you mean the first cut across the tread the tire will still be round. Just clamp it and reach through the "hole" or cut from the bottom.

@@thetinkeringold-timer6934 id love to see it on a video. Me, i have basicly build a tall table, with i can place the tirein around 80 cm, to get a good angle with the reciprocating saw.. but ive tried maybe 4 different kinds of blades, and its hard to get any solid “this is what to do”.. my best blades seems to be some wood blades with uneven teeth on them, and cutting/sawing in an uneven angle, where i can pull down while sawing. Ive tried to clamp the tires, but the clamps just loosing very quick. So ive actually placed a board with some weights ontop, so hold it down, and its pretty okayish.. however i still feel improvements is to be made.. ive tried several times of using a metal blade with small fine teets, but it just seems to grind against the rubber. I see you points in clamping it down, with a piece of wood, but yea.. it requires an initial cut where such clamping isnt an option, because of the round shape… also id like to tackle the beads with better tools, because angle grinder causes fume, smell and smoke instant, so i am trying to figure out witch cutter to go for.. ive broke in 2 bolt cutterjaws already, because they werent strong enough in their steel. So i am trying to figure out what hrc value those wires/rings of steel in the tires are made off, to not brake yet another cutter in this learning process. Hydralic cutters seems to be the best, but they cost way to much for me. Have also tried to figure out of recipprocating saw can cut the beads, but i guess it will grind the blades down faily quick.. oh yea.. i forgot to mention, i work indoors 😊

@@silasgroenning Hi, may I ask what you are cutting the tires for? I cut tires to make garden decorations and I find it is easier to cut across the tread with an angle grinder, it does produce a burning rubber smell and I use protective gear but in my opinion it is easier and it also leaves a smoother edges and doesn't leave a lot of steel hanging out to cut yourself on.

@@catdooley4616 hey. Its actually best to use reciprocating saw on the front of the tire. Only beads gievs angle grinder the upper hand, since you use more disc then blades on the rubber part, aside from no fumes with the saw as well, witch is major. I am cutting an odd shape for a special puporse. But even thou if i where to cut straight through i only would use angle grinder for the beads

Its also alot about having the right blade and cutting from s certain angle, with the tire in a steady position, then the recipeocating saw really shines
