The United mechanics are going to change the tire on the aircraft (right main rear inboard tire) before moving the aircraft from the runway.. the passengers are going to remain on the aircraft during the change.  It landed on Runway 30. normal operations are continuing on runways 1 left and 1 right.  A medic unit and fire truck remain on the scene. everything is clearing.
