    These tires are gonna be a motherfucker to get off. Soaked in acetone overnight and I can "kinda" pry them off. I got one off but there's still so much glue and shit left over.

    I think I may have to pry the rest of them off and boil the wheels for a while to get rid of the glue...

    I'm not sure what's going on with DFs' tires. It's usually no big deal. Were these tires factory glued, or did you glue them? The acetone, metal can from Lowes/HomoDepot?

    kinda second guessing this trade. I thought the e-savage was the same as what i've seen in person (which is a savage flux) and its not... gotta do a lot of upgrading to that thing... I dont think i will do it.

    Yes Sir I did. And, it's been no fun as of yet. I can't believe how fast it went down hill.

    I'm kinda thinkin I just sorta half-assed it. They were proline gladiators on renegade wheels. Came pre-glued. (There was a metric fuck-ton on them)
