Removing tyres

Hi guys.

I would like to remove some fairly new run flat tyres off my 19 inch rims so I can sell the wheels and tyres separately.
3 of the tyres were fitted in April and one was fitted last month. I'm thinking I should be able to get a decent return on them alone instead of selling them with MV4 225M wheels which most people don't want these days.

My question is, can the removal phase of new run flat tyres cause them any damage?
Damage to the wheels I don't mind as much because they have the odd curbage here and there.

They will come off relatively easy, its getting them on which can be a pain in the f****** arse,

when you come to sell your MV4 give me a shout I'm after a spare set just to chuck my track tyres on

Thanks for the response.

The situation with the rims is a bit difficult. I will need to buy a whole new set before I can arrange and sell them and I don't see that happening any time soon.

I have:

#2x front MV4's in original silver on ebay now for £100 each. No tyres and with slight curbage on the rim edges.

#1x silver rear is in use right now fitted with a month old Bridgestone Potenza RF. this was replaced FOC by BMW in 2012 so it must be a new batch from a different manufacturer as some on here were talking about once.

#1x silver rear is at BMW right now with a hair line crack that has failed the run out test by 0.25cm. I'm in the process of complain to BMWUK to get that replace FOC also.

The MV4's in gun metal:

#2x front and 1x rear fitted in April with Bridgestone Potenza RF. Very good thread left, are currently in use on my daily driver.

#1x rear with no tyres and 3-4 hair line cracks.

I hope that makes some sense.
