Little country range near a buddy's house is like that.
We've shot all sorts of stuff from as little as maybe 10 yards and never had a problem. However, these tires have been well used and probably pretty well perforated so they may not react like an unshot tire would.
We were out in Wyoming when I was a lad and one gun shop/range had tires from the big mining trucks stacked up maybe 12 feet high. Acted as backstop as well as sidewalls. Lots of rubber that.
