Most beekeepers in the Carribean use tires and they claim good results and
especially helpful against termites which are a big problem there.  One key
however is to use the larger size car tires or pick-up size tires as they
offer more support.  Also need to start off almost level with just a little
lean to the front.  If put on very unlevel areas they tend to lean worse as
the colony builds up and stores more honey and will give you a very unlevel
colony and could affect the natural angle of drawn comb for honey storage.
