Mounting and dismounting a lawn tractor tire can go easy or be a real PIA.
Gather two very large flat screwdrivers, or better yet, a pry bar. Place the tire on the rim at angle so that one side drops over the rim. Place a screwdriver on one side between the tire and rim to stop the tire from coming of as you begin working the tire on with the second tool. Simply use the pry bar and work your way around the tire. The closer you get to completion, the more difficult it will be to pry the tire over the rim. You may need a third pry tool to place between the tire and rim on both sides as you work the tire on. You can also use a hammer to assist, with a tool on opposite sides to hold the tire from coming back off, then use the hammer and hit the bead of the tire to work it on while moving the holding tool forward as you progress.
Hint: Use dish washing liquid to liberally lubricate the tire and rim around the bead. This will dramatically reduce the effort to get the tire on.
Once you have done it a couple times, you will find it to be a pretty simple task...most of the time.

To remove the rear tire and rim from a Lawn Boy riding mower, first, ensure the mower is turned off and parked on a flat surface. Use a wrench to remove the lug nuts securing the tire to the rim, turning them counterclockwise. Once the lug nuts are removed, pull the tire off the hub. If the rim is stuck, gently tap it with a rubber mallet to loosen it before fully removing it from the axle.
You will have to change the rim too. You will need to change both rear tires or it could damage the transaxle.
It's just a small bicycle tire. Use a screwdriver or similar tool to separate the tire from the rim, remove old tube, insert new tube, add air.

No, the R15 means that it is a radial tire and the 15 is the rim size. Never try to mount a tire and a rim that are different sizes.

Of course you can.
No, an 18-inch tire will not fit on a 17-inch rim. Tire sizes are designed to match the diameter of the rim, so a tire labeled as 18 inches will require a rim that is also 18 inches in diameter. Attempting to mount an 18-inch tire on a 17-inch rim could lead to safety issues and damage to both the tire and rim.
To mount a bike tire properly, first deflate the tire completely. Then, place one side of the tire onto the rim, starting at the valve stem. Use tire levers to carefully push the other side of the tire onto the rim, being cautious not to pinch the inner tube. Inflate the tire to the recommended pressure and check that it is seated evenly on the rim before riding.
