Would you run a culvert under it to allow water to flow through that low spot? Would that be necessary?
Things like roads and more permanent earth works need to be done right the first time, or you may find yourself constantly having to tweak them, fix them, upgrade them . . .
As a short term fix, it might be a quick solution, but if you have to go back every 3 to 5 years and fix it up, is it worth it? And will the tires leach any chemicals down into the space below where you want to grow stuff? I know that that has been a concern for many permies in using old tires as a construction material.
