I've thought about tires, but the wife sorta shrugged at the idea, I think we are gonna try the straw method this year.
I've done straw. Actually use hay because I don't have to buy it. I've found it to be very successful. The trick with hay though is that you have to let it get moldy first or it will grow grass.
Re. Tires, I would hesitate to grow any food in tires because of the off gassing and the possible toxicity going into the food.

I used hay last year too, but I had two puppies that got into my hay bale potatoes, but I still managed to get a few out of it. The dogs are gone this year, so I'm going to try round two with the hay bales. They were growing great last year until the puppy incident.

LOL!
My dogs love the hay too! They think it is a bed I built just for them!
