When an iron tyre is heated, it expands and becomes bigger than the wheel. When this expanded tyre is placed on the wheel, it fits over the wheel. When cold water is poured on this tyre, it contracts and fits over the wheel. In this way, mechanics use expansion by heating to fix tyres on wheels.

Heating makes the iron expand so the rim circle is bigger than when it cools. Thus when applied hot is shrink when in place, holding the wheel together tightly.
What holds the tire in place?
The tire is held in place from the air pressure expanding and pressing the edge onto the rim, and nothing but friction holds it. ( if you meant the rubber not the wheel.)
Why iron rims are heated red hot before fixing them on cart wheels?
By heating the rim on the forge to make it expand enough to slip over the wheel. The hot rim was then hammered onto the wheel so that it was properly centered and aligned. The rim and wheel were then set aside to cool, during which time the rim shrank back to its original size locking it to the wheel.
