The main trick with tyres is that to get the first side off the other side needs to be in the deeper "well" in the centre of the wheel to give you the play to pop the tyre over the rim. Same as putting the tyre back on the first side is easy but then it has to be in that deeper centre section to get the other side bead on.
Also lube/tyre soap is very very important.... To do your own tryes you will need a bead breaker, at least two decent tyre irons, some rim protectors... Just until your good enough not to need them or you will mash your rims up, some tyre soap, and a compressor.
Oh and then there's "beading" your newly fitted tyre.... that's where the fun really begins
