Why do you want to replace the new tires with old ones? Seems silly to me.

But be that as it may, replacing tires is one of the maintenance tasks plane owners can do themselves. You jack up the plane (carefully!), remove the wheel and tire, and at that point I take it to the aircraft tire shop and tell the guys "Please take this tire off and put that one on."

If you want to do it yourself, deflate the inner tube completely by taking the core out of the Schraeder valve with a valve-core wrench. Then split the wheel by undoing the fasteners, and remove the tire. Reassembly is the reverse of the above.

If you don't have a split-rim wheel, take it to the shop.

Aircraft Tires? Thats usually a complicated task, I changed tires on the C-141B in the AF and it required jacking the plane taking off many bolts and removing the tire and replacing it rebolting it on and unjacking the plane.

Have you ever had a blow out while rolling out?
It isn't pretty and can cost you the entire aircraft.
even the most docile C172 can be a wild ride off the runway when a main blows.
Other than that, you CANNOT do it yourself if the aircraft is a certified type. The work must be done (or at least signed off) by a licensed A&P
It ain't worth the risk.

Don't replace your plane tyre because old is gold .

Stay with the "new" rubber unless there is a problem.
If there is a problem replace with "new fresh" units
that come with "certs" (Dated !)
