Take a deadblow hammer and wack the shit out of your tire all round to loosen it up. Mine get stuck every time..... and if you dont have a dead blow then just get on the floor and kick it.

It's a rubber hammer that is filled with bb's. Even a rubber mallet would work, but a deadblow will have more force behind it.

Ok well if you have a sledge hammer or something like that you can wrap a towel around it, only so you don't scuff up your tire, or accidentally hit your rim...... cause that would suck.

If your using a good jack (not the factory jack) and its supporting it good, just kick it with your foot (the tire) it will come off.
