You will need a lug wrench and a good jack.

First, try to park the car in a safe location, off the road

on a flat surface, if possible (if the tire blows while you

are driving, this may be a little hard to do) Make sure

the car is in Park (or 1st or reverse for a manual) and

the parking brake is on.With the lug wrench (its a long iron piece with a circular head thatfits snugly over the lug nuts)

start by loosening the lug nuts so that they are moving freely

(don't take them all the way off just yet) Once that is done,

use the jack to start lifting the car (check your manual to see

where the best place is to place the jack-most cars nowadays

have a jack that fits under the frame below the car's doors,

tho the older cars may still have a bumper jack which is

not as stable and needs to be carefully placed.) When you

have a couple of inches clearance under the tire, finish

loosening the lug nuts and place them in a container or pocket because they like to roll away and try to escape.

Once that is done, take the old tire off, you may need to

wiggle it a bit to get it started. When the old tire is off,

put the new tire on, then hand screw the lug nuts on as far

as you can, you have to lower the car off the jack before

you use the lug wrench to firmly tighten the lug nuts. Pick

up all the equipment, flat tire and any burnt out flares and

get it in the trunk or wherever it was stored to start with.

Then off you go.
In the trunk of your car were the jack is should be the tools need it and a set of step by step instruction on how to change the tires front and rear.
