I read a article about a farmer making a water trough out of a rear tractor tire. Never thought about that but I wonder how he would seal off the bottom. Neighbor made one out of a grain bin ring. Poured concrete in it but had leaks between the concrete and ring.

any leaks can be sealed up with bentonite. It a real fine clay that turns to jello when wet. Well drillers use it to seal wells.

Hey, this is not off topic. You mentioned "Tractor" in your post.

You could buy some of that pond liner from Home Depot and put in hte bottom of the tire after you filled the tire up to the bead. Should be able to glue it down with tire tube cement. Thompson water seal has a rubberized paint that you go around the edge of the grain bin to concrete with that should seal up the leaks. That sounds like a good idea for good water tank for raising catfish in.
