Hey guys how do I pull off the front left tires. I loosen the nuts, jacked it and then took the nuts completely off. How do I pull the tires, it seems like its stuck. I dont want to use extreme force or do I have to?

yea, every once in a while, it'll get a little "stuck"...make sure all the lugs are off, then give it a litte "kick" at the top or bottom of the tire.

Sometimes kicking it from outside the tire won't work either. With the car properly secured (JACK STANDS) crawl underneath and give the tire 1 good kick with both your legs. DO NOT try this if the car is not properly secured.

Just smack the left and right of the tire with your hand continously. Or just kick the thing.
sit down, kick top hard with heel, kick bottom hard with heel. repeat as necessary
i'll come off. if that doesnt work get a peice of metal bar between the spokes and pry.

I just gave it several huge tug. I'm looking for a BFGOODRICH tire and I'm not sure where to find it.
I used a rubber hammer and just tapped it from the inside and it came off pretty easily.
im glad we got to read ALL the different ways to remove a stuck tire. . . . . .

Spray some w40 on it then kick it.....

get some WD-40 in there also, that helped me. let it soak in then give it a kick

once it comes loose, smear the hub with anti seize.

lol thanks for all the advices
If all doesnt work.. a torch might work.. LOL
hmm a torch, havent heard of that idea before. very creative haha
dont torch an alloy wheel.
1. it changes the hardness of the Alloy
2. it'll burn off the clearcoat
3. it'll ruin whatever finish is on the wheel

Just kick it with the bottom of your foot. Also before you put the wheel back on, make sure and get a wired brush and clean the hubs.

If the jump kick doesnt work.. I think a round house following it should do the trick..
or.. just grab a torch like I told you.. burn it off!!! hehehe
