High lift jack to break the bead (or just get 1-2 cars to drive over the tyre part of the wheel when flat on the ground).
Then you will need something like a couple of big screwdrivers/strong sticks to get the tyre off - better to carry a couple of tyre levers though - they are pretty cheap.
Big hammer helps too to move the screwdrivers around the rim

put it in the fire
prolly take a few hours but the tyre will be gone and you will have some nice black rims

done this one night a while back, it took me and my old man about 45 mins, with only a highlift jack, one small crow bar and a rubber mallet, it did finally work, and help pressure,

Drive over edge of tire not rim, and break bead.... then use the screwdrivers bit works too.

Steer into some nice deep ruts with low pressure and tear the bugger off
