wouldn't it be more useful to break up its silouette, or something?

Or even just cover it in a tarpaulin? surely they can manage to find enough material of some sort in all of russia to make a makeshift cover. It's gotta be easier than car tyres.

The only logic I can see with tires is it MAY help deflect/catch some shrapnel, or potentially cushion a dropped charge if hit from above. If its purpose was to mess with image targeting they could just paint shapes on them and not have to toss tires around all the time, or as you say toss some tarps on them.
