I first did this with 4 motorcycle tires. Yesterday I needed an old car tire removed before shipping. The shops tire machine is getting moved to a new shop and I didn’t feel like driving to my regular mechanic. I first cut the tire completely around the sidewall. Then made a notch in the rubber to the bead. Used the pair of box cutters in the pic to cut the bead. The whole process took 5 minutes.

I've done a similar method, take a jig saw and cut the sidewall, then use the bolt cutters on the steel belt.
