Just take it to your local tyre fitter and pay them a quid or two disposal charge.

I *thought* the wires are fairly high strength steel, which suggests angle grinder to me. Bolt cropper might be difficult to manoeuvre.
Go to dump out of Hrs and leave it by their gate
Put it on a bonfire ... then pick up steel wires in the morning

I was charged 2 quid by mine (though it was on a steel wheel)
They may well have CCTV by the gates.
The neighbours would love that.
Ring up the local council, and ask how to dispose of tyres. They'll almost certainly take a dim view of having one in a wheelie bin - even if cut into pieces.
The last half dozen I've paid £1.28 ea
As a kid the more tyres we could get on Nov 5th bonfire the better
My local council has amnesty days .... where you can take tyres in
My local council says this on their web site:
Tyres from bicycles, prams and wheelbarrows are accepted, but not motorbike or car tyres. Garages that fit new tyres to your car or motorbike will dispose of your old tyres for you.

Thankfully, my local tip doesn't have any of that rubbish - since I fit my own tyres...
Perhaps you'd like to show us how for a wiki page?

How do you re-balance them?
IIRC static balancing is a lot simpler to do than dynamic.

No it doesn't. I cut a couple up a few months ago and a thin cutting blade worked well.
But even better was the sabre saw with metal cutting blade.
