Tractor tyre pond

first take them off the tractor!

then it depends on what tools you have, I would use an angle grinder with a disk cutter, failing that a drill and drill lots of close holes and chase around with a large hacksaw

The grinder will work great as the tyres dont have steel reinforced sidewalls the same as car tyres do!!

Careful what you are breathing in if you grind the walls off. I don't know how thick a tractor tyre is, but would a jigsaw blade be long enough to do it. I cut car tyres with an old govn't surplus army knife, slices through a treat.
