I still have to learn how to remove the back wheel and get that off in order to change the tube and tire on the back.
Actually, you have that backwards. There would be no sense spending money on tires until you are sure you can successfully rehabilitate the mechanical systems on the bike. You might end up with new tires but no bike to install them on
