Chris,

I am reliaby informed the way to do it is not to cut them. You make the ring with the saws, then stretch the buggers on using a digger (or 2)

The latest trend for tyres fitted locally, when diggers arent available is to use a post driver to persuade the tyre (with sidewalls cut) off to go on.
The wheel has to be lying flat on a hard surface and leaf springs are used as tyre levers to guide the tyre on as the post driver monkey is dropped onto the edge of the tyre.
