You can do your own tires -- you'll need some tire irons (2 or 3), and a way to break the bead away from the rim. If you have a wall where you can mount a cross bar (2x4) and have an 8 foot long 2x4 or 2x6, and then a short 2x4 to put the pressure on the old tire sidewall. Be sure to support the rim, so no pressure is put on the brake disk or the rim itself.
Soapy water works for levering on the new tires, and you'll need a good compressor to get the new tires to "catch" some pressure and to seat them evenly all the way around -- the soap will help lubricate them so they usually do.
You can do static balancing if you think they will be out of balance. Or maybe a local shop can do dynamic balancing?
Edit: It looks like your new tires are Cheng Shin? I wouldn't guess they are real sporty. You might fine they squirm on rough surfaces, and they may not handle wet or standing water well.
Be careful out there!
