it is weight to keep the tarp down
Cheap weights provided by Garage Frank?
To secure silage covers
They really don’t need tyres, per se, but… back in the day there was someone facing a huge bill for tyre disposal and a farmer looking for weights to keep their tarps down, they happened to be complaining about it in the pub and suddenly (after a few more pints) they hit upon a genius idea…
It has now become the done thing on pretty much every farm I’ve known.

When they’re not being used to weigh down the silage tarps, the cows use them for their assault course training. Luxembourg’s cows are among the fittest you’ll find. Have you seen the price of Luxlait?!
It’s to weight down, tighten and seal the silage covers after putting them on. It helps with fermentation and prevents air getting in which will cause mold which in turn spoils the silage.
Looks familiar around here. A common sight.

Look up silage, you can also use sandbags.
Weights as mentioned, to keep the tarp close so that the silage is kept in anaerobic conditions.
Also collects heat to speed up the process.
The tires are easy to handle, very durable and heavy enough for the purpose. They can also be stacked.
They won’t slide down the slippery plastic because they lean on the lower layer, and the rubber has good grip.
Still, this is an old way of making feed. The modern way is the “tractor eggs” i.e. big round cylinder “balls” of hay covered with white or black plastic out in the field.
Easier to transport one by one when you need them, instead of gathering everything together in one place.
