tire stuck to rim

you mean you just have to break the bead? use a hilift jack on the tire and under the bumper or something, that will break that bead.
or if theres rubber left on the bead seat then just buff it off with a wire wheel or something.

you can position it to where the tire is under your trucks tire and run it over to pop the bead off.just dont run the rim over.i used to do this on hummvee tires if they would not pop off real easy.a heavy sledge on the tire close to the bead will work also.
take em to a tire shop or if you know somebody with a changer let them break the bead.
pb blaster is good.
thay make a lube / breaker chemical called ( skid ) works wounders.
or best bet bite the bullet and take them to a shop. even if 10 bucks per tire you have wasted that much in your time already.

well I finally did 
. I soaked the edge in wd-40 and just used a screwdriver. and worked around the edge and it came free . As far as taking it to a shop, dont take anything to a shop if i can do it myself, including the help of ck5 and suggestions 
. Plus my time is free and cost me nothing. So I got the old tire off and now i have the new one half on. I will tackle the rest tomorrow evening.
thanks all.

I cut some off a rim with a die grinder and cut off wheel.

the tire I removed was stuck real bad. I actually used a sawsall and cut the tire of about an inch from the rim. then I sprayed wd40 around the edge and let it soak for a couple hours. then took a large screwdriver and drove it around the edge while tapping with a hammer, about 15 minutes of prying and what was left of the tire fell off. I Flipped the rim over and repeated the other side.
all in all about an hour worth of my time.
