Any tips on removing a riciculously glued rubber tire from lower BS wheel?

A chisel you're willing to trash. Sharpen it later.

spray brake cleaner. Removes contact [rubber based] cemented items easily and it is easy to find at the auto parts chains.

Brake cleaner will take off paint so be careful.

Michael, lots of good suggestions. Any luck?

I tried MS, Acetone, and M.E.K to no avail.

I ordered the 3M general adhesive remover and it worked wonderfully. It's not all off yet, but that's only because I tried it when I should've been buckling my kids in the car to go to church today. I know this stuff will work.

Spray on. Wait a few minutes. Wipe with a clean, dry cloth. Repeat for heavy spots.

The hardest part was removing the tire. It took quite a while with a crappy chisel and a crapload of elbow grease. Lots of adhesive residue and tire remnants left behind. This 3M stuff is the ticket. I'll post pics later.

Thanx guys!!!

It is finished...

(That is not a reference thumb, but a thumbs up of approval)

Thanx to whoever recommended this stuff!!!

I cleaned off both wheels. I prematurely posted, "it is finished." Not realizing I had forgot to clean the upper wheel.

The new Carter urethane tires are on and I just made a test cut. Not bad. Possibly some further setup needs to take place as well as some improvement to my technique.
