I boil mine. I do 15 minutes each wheel. I use like a metal 5lb weight to keep it from floating, but watch out, it gets super hot. When I take them out I run them under cold water. And watch out for any hot water left in the tire. It seems to work well.

I'm gonna have to try that boiling method next time I need to remove some tires. You can also try cyanoacrylate de-bonder, but I hear it's a slow process.
A word of caution boys and girls, the oven method isn't the safest for you, especially if you are using the oven to cook your daily meals. Cyanoacrylate (superglue) when heated to those high temperatures, causes a chemical reaction, which produces CYANIDE gas. It's probably not enough to harm you, but over time, and if exposed to enough, who knows. Not exactly what you want to be breathing, or having your next pizza basting in !! If the baking option still seems to be the best for you, I would invest in a cheap electric oven that you could keep in your garage for stuff like this, or maybe even invest a few dollars less in a toaster oven. Just don't breathe the fumes, and don't cook your food in it.

Rocco and the melted Responses thread.. Note, don't bake tires at 350*F. They aren't muffins!

soak them in acetone that seems to work well, just get a bucket and put them on a brick inside, the acetone doesnt actually have to be touching them, then seal the lid and let it sit over night

acetone method is what I use too. Just the fumes from the acetone will lossen the tire from the rim. If you really want to the get every ounce of glue off the rim soak the thing in acetone overnight. Just a word of warning though.. Some Rims actually DISSOLVE in Acetone and some tires also harden up or begin to fall apart in the stuff.

in oven for 15 minutes at 250~ have a sink full of water and ice. take 1 out at a time and dunk it in the ice water, and it will crac the glue. i use channel locks to pinch the tire sidewall and pull off the rim.
