What are the best techniques for using tire irons to change a bicycle tire?

To change a bicycle tire using tire irons, start by removing the wheel from the bike. Use the tire irons to pry the tire off the rim, starting at the valve stem. Work your way around the tire, being careful not to pinch the inner tube. Once the tire is off, replace the inner tube if needed, then use the tire irons to carefully lever the tire back onto the rim. Inflate the tire to the recommended pressure and reattach the wheel to the bike.
