tire removal

i want to remove my tires, but for somereason, when i unscrew the 4 screws, it still wont come off... i noticed in the middle of the tire, there is another screw, but it looks like it has been jammed in..

is there supposed to be another screw in the middle or sumfin?? i think the jerk mechanic that lowered my car, purposely jammed it in.. any suggestions??

do you still have your stock tires still on? Because if you do they might be rusted on. That what happened to me and the dealership said this a common even on new cars. Just take off the lugs and use a rubber mallet to knock the tire loose. If not i dont know what to tell you

When I was taking off my stock tires, I had to use a little tug to get them off. Pull on them hard, ya might fall on yer rear tho :P

well...if u still have the stock tires...alll u gotta do is put ur less dominant hand/arm on the bottom of the tire......put ur stronger arm on the top of the tire.....use ur hand from the bottom of the tire and pull from there.....while ur stronger hand gives the upper portion of the tire a smack....and boom...it should come off.....if i know ur situation
