To make sure your tyre is fine just check the tread is not bald, check that the bead of the tyre is not ruined. And make sure that the tyre has no holes, even if they are tiny slits from glass.
To change the tyre on a bike:
1. deflate the tyre.
2. Use the tyre levers to pry the tyre off the rim2. Keep one bead of the tyre within the rim to keep the tube and wheel aligned. Use only tyre levers and not screwdrivers or your pocket knife for this task so that you don't scratch up or deform the rim.
3. Put one side of the tyre on the rim
4. Inflate the tube slightly and pack it back into the tyre, starting at the valve, which you can line up with the tyre label. Squeeze the other side of the tyre back into the rim of the wheel. Inflate the tube a little more and make sure that the bead is within the rim all the way around. If it has slipped out anywhere your tube will be squeezed against the rim and will burst; you will then have to replace it with a new one.
6. Before fully inflating the tube, put the wheel back onto the bicycle by inserting the axle into the dropouts. When the wheel is fully in place, inflate the tyre to the same pressure as the other tyre on the bike. Do not use car-style air pumps available at filling stations; they are meant for larger tyres and deliver air more quickly, which could burst your tube. Before you finish, tighten the bolts that hold the axle onto the bike by turning and flipping the quick-release levers or with your wrench.
What to do when your chain falls off.
With a piece of cloth, pull the chain from just underneath and behind the chainring and bring it fowards around and onto the chainring. Then pedal backward until the chain is fully on the ring.
Im sorry but I cant really give much advice on your gears.
