Swapping pre-glued tires/wheels.

I know this hasn't been asked here yet.
Is it acceptable to swap out a good tire from a bad rim ( hub damaged) to a good rim with a shredded tire?
***No , my Sketer tires are good. FFS they barely ballooned.***

I can't see why not, it's a good use of parts if you ask me and also less waste..

Guess that depends on how much patients you have. I personally have never done that yet. I have heard guys putting them in the oven for a bit makes things come off easier but I can’t confirm that. Lucky for me tires always go bad before the wheel so I just have a boneyard of bald or blown out tires. I do plan to take them apart someday.

Acceptable yes, worth while only you can make that choice. Depends how much trouble it is cleaning the glue off the rims and tires. The better the prep the less chance your new combo will come unglued on you.
