Removing a stubborn junk tire from a wheel

Poke a hole in the middle of the sidewall with a knife then cut around the wheel in the middle of the sidewall with a saws all. Repeat on the other side. The thread should then fall off leaving the beads (like the tire carcass on the bottom of a construction barrel). Then I use a die grinder with a small diameter (1 1/2”) wheel to cut through the cords in the bead. Once you get through the bead it should come loose.
