my tire is flat and i have an old one laying in the barn how do i put it on rim and all?How do i change a tire?While it can be done, it will require a lot of muscle. Considering the amount of work to do it yourself versus the cost of going to a local garage and having them remove the old tire from the rim and mounting the new tire, I'd say spend the extra few dollars to have the garage do it for you. This way, you can have them balance the tire for you at the same time ( which will have to be done anyway and that is not something you can do yourself ).
As a side note, how old is this tire you want to put on? Keep in mind that the rubber compounds do harden with age which deteriorates the ride quality and safety margin. Even if that old tire has lots of tread left, it may no longer be a good tire.How do i change a tire?Is it for a bike or a car? If it's for a car you'll need a special equipment.
