Cutting tyres

Well, a tyre lever, or I find the easiest way is to take them to the local tyre place when it's quite and slip them a couple of quid cash..

seconded. An angle grinder will stink.

remove the tyre by breaking the bead and using tyre levers. domestic bead breaking can be done either with a suitable lever system (I made up a wooden thing that hooked into a mount on a wall and that worked fine) or use the weight of the car, or a very large vice . Most people want new tyres fitted to the wheels, so it is uncommon to just want the tyres off without replacement. An angle grinder will wreck the wheels and be extremely difficult/dangerous to do the job with.

This.

I had all 4 tyres taken off my MX5, and put on the other way around (so I can balance out track day wear) for 20 quid.

Balance out track day wear? You can see the canvas after I've been on a track day ...

MX5s are very light and well balanced, my Cinquecento used to wear tyres faster.

Bung the lot in a bonfire.

It was a joke.

I've just bought a Westfield to try and reduce consumable consumption.

Your neighbours will thank you. There's nothing quite like waking up on a late summer morning to the delicately exotic scent of black rubber being combusted on an open fire. To those of a Serf Effreken persuasion it will remind them strongly of home and the visits to the townships of their youth. Honestly, go ahead; and be prepared to receive their plaudits.
