The type of nozzle you need isn't determined by the tire, but by the tube. And you can put any kind of tube in any tire. You need to look at the tube to determine if it's a Schrader (like on a car), a Presta(narrower) or a Dunlop (unlikely). Schrader-to-Presta adapters are available at pretty much every bike store and only cost a few dollars.

For the US there are basically two options:Schraeder valve, the same as on a carPresta valve, which is narrower.Then find a pump with the appropriate nozzle. For Schraeder, just remove the cap and go at it. Particulary if you're filling from a compressor, don't exceed the max allowable pressure stated on the tire sidewall.For Presta, remove the cap, undo the locknut, give the valve a push to break the seal. Then apply the nozzle and inflate the tube.For Europeans there's the added option of the Dunlop valve, which can be inflated with the same type nozzle as the Presta, but there's no locknut that needs to be opened.
