I'm not sure how the terminology works in English. I change the tires I open the bolts and take the tire off and it just has that small round metal part left where the brake is and that the bolts attach to. If without rims means just the rubber part then I haven't really seen that sort of tire changing where I live. I wonder how you change such tires yourself, the rubber part seems pretty firmly in place
Oh so you are changing the rims in fact. Not sure why you're not getting a tire pressure warning in that case, either the second set of rims has sensors, or there's something wrong with the system
But to answer your question, around here most people who only change the tires (rubber) and re-use the same rims (metal) have it done professionally. It's not impossible to do it at home but it's generally not worth the trouble
