Bounce backs happen all the time. Not specifically from tires but from metal targets. Go to UTube and look up "bullets bouncing back and hitting shooter." The 1000 yard shot (UTube) scared me, this guy was lucky.

I have had multiple rebound hits with a 45 acp off steel. enough to make sure the plate is angled away from the firing position. shooting at a stack of tires from even 25 yards let alone 50 or 100 won't keep me up nights worrying about a rebound. choose a soft tire like the op fill the inside with sand and voila' a perfect bullet trap! and I would rather go west from a 54 PRB in the noggin than drown in my own fluids via kung fu flu!
ps. that said I will fight to the death for everyone else's right to their opinion!
stay healthy and stay safe. deerstalkert.
