Do I just need a wrench to remove bike tire?
If the tire contacts the brake pads, move the lever on the brake caliper to the open position. Low end bikes require a wrench to loosen the nuts on the axle. A closed end wrench, open end wrench of the proper size will work, or use an adjustable wrench.. If it’s a quick-release hub, none.

In the case of the tire, it may not have been properly seated on the rim prior to inflation. Once under pressure the tube will push through this section of the tire and form a bulge. Once you hit the trail this problem can deteriorate causing the tube to rupture and possibly shred the tire in the process.
