I dread breaking down 6 ply when they have been on for years. In about 2004 I had to replace the rear tires on my 86 250sx which were 6 ply. I ended up taking them to my neighhbors shop to try his tire machine but had no luck. I brought them back home and started to cut them off with the die grinder. Well all worked well until I got to the beads. Tried everything but still could not cut them or break them, so I done the unthinkable. I had a trash pile I put the rears in then doused with some gas and lit them up. At last I had the tires off. Wire brushed the wheels off washed and painted them than mounted the new tires.
