How to put my inflated tire back on my bicycle?

Question

I have an older schwinn le tour, im not sure if it is dated back to the 80's or 70's. It still has made in chicago on the front. I took off the tire to replace the old one and now I cant remember how to put the tires back on. I need desperate help. Thanks

Scroll down to "Re-Installing the Tire".

Answer 2

The instructions on the link are good. One thing to add is once the tire is on the rim and partially inflated bounce it a few times all round to help it seat properly.
