How difficult is it to change tires on my car?
you can change tires yourself, but i would not recommend it as you would need special tools, don't know if they make them any more, if you do don't forget to mark weights in case you knock them off. best way to break tire from rim is place tire in front of wheel just enough so tire can run over edge of tire and break loose from rim.

On a scale of 1-10 I would say 9.75
Not going to happen, they use a machine to get the tire back onto the wheel and without it, its pretty damn near impossible.
Heck just pay for it, its not that expensive
Changing the tires involves safe practices. Mounted tires can be changed with a wrench and a jack. Tires alone are removed from the car while on the rims, placed onto a tire changer and replaced. This is a labor-intensive process.
No! It can be done with tire irons, but it isn't worth the risk of damaging the bead on a new tire. Even if you can break the bead on the old tires, remove them from the rims, and get the new ones on the rims without destroying them, you're still going to have to pay someone seven bucks a tire to spin balance them. Bottom line is you'll have to pay anyways, AND you'll be missing fingers and a day of your life that you'll never get back.
It's really impossible to remove your own tires at home and mount new ones. Visit your local tire shop and watch them at work, the specialized tools to remove and install a tire are all pneumatic and press the bead away from the rim. At home beating and pounding on the bead to break it loose would probably result in damage to your rim as well as damage to yourself. And once they're mounted you'll need them balanced as well. The basic tools alone would be many times over what a tire shop would charge you to do the job.
Without the proper tools it is not possible. If you are buying new tires, most places will mount them for free. They will usually charge for balancing though.
