How to replace/change a tire on a rim?

I just a got a flat the other day on my ford focus (205/50 R16). I'm wondering if there are any guides or tutorials on the web on how to replace the actual tire on the rim, and not the whole tire. I've tried looking up the web but couldn't find anything.



I don't want to spend an additional 70 bux for the services when i could do it myself. All i need is a someone to point me to the right direction.



So if there's anyone kind enough to help me out, I would appreciate it, sincerely.



Thanx



p.s. remember, safety first.How to replace/change a tire on a rim?Automobile tires are stretched when mounted over a wheel, this is very difficult to do without proper tools. Just to clarify, tire is the rubber, wheel is the steel. You don't need to replace the entire unit!



A mount and balance at most tire shops should never be more than $25 dollars, and in most cases is included in the cost of repair. Proper repair means breaking the tire down and putting a patch on from the inside. Plugs are not the best choice.

There is no other safe way to do it.



Most tire shops charge around $15 to dismount/mount and balance a tire. Is $15 worth your life?
