I've investigated several shootings where the tires were shot out and I've been on scene 3 times when it was done, 1 of those times I did it.
I've never seen 'spinning tires' deflect a bullet. One situation I investigated the officer, riding passenger, fired 12 rds from a 5904 while behind a fleeing felon. Speeds were 100+MPH. 8 of those rds hit and punctured the tire.
I took out a rear van tire traveling at approximately 80 mph using an 870 loaded with 0 Buck. 3 pellets penetrated the thread with the other 7 rds hitting the fender. We pulled the tire off the rim to recover the pellets which were still inside.
