Is the tire coming already on the rim, or does it need to be installed?
Installing on to the rim is easy if you know what to do, but could cause you grief if you don't.
You will need to ease the tire onto the rim and I usually use two flat screwdrivers to do this. If the tire has a tube you will need to put the tube in after getting the inner portion of the tire on the rim first.
If the tire is tubeless, you will need to bring it to a gas station that has free-air to get the air in at high pressure so it will "pop" onto the rim. Using a tire inflation foot or hand pump will not generate enough force of air to do this.
