Default Old tyres on allotment

I just acquired an allotment and there are lots of old tyres dotted about.
I was hoping to stay pretty organic.
Do I need to get the tyres off quick?
Are they a source of pollution/toxins as they break down?
Thanks

Bung one on the ground fill with earth and plant 5 potatoes in it.
When the leaves show above ground bung another on top fill with earth
and bung in another 5 spuds. Continue untill too high.
You'll have a massive potato harvest in very little space.
