There is a tire lying on a completely level ground. The tire is not attached to a wheel. It is raining at two inches per minute. If it will take three days of rain to make the water level with the tire, how long will it take for the water to engulf the tire, assuming the tire is five inches tall?

Clever,Smart,Wise,Intelligent,Knowledgeable and the likes..Whoa! now I can see a bit of physics here! wow! and also some answerers even included pork topics, i dunno if it is a mistake or just to offend to simply say "ur a pig" but in a sense so naive to say.Oh! too timid shucks thats bad.Anyways back to the topic. I see many answered the tire will float and some say 2 1/2 minutes to engulf the tire since ur data says raining 2 in. per min. the raining for three days and the tire five inches tall. Yo! girl ur missing some teenie weenie detail there and i'm gladly to help you out. Here goes nothing:
Actually, there are two types of tire:
1. A tire with an interior
2. A tubless tire
Both of this you call the tire you see in a vehicle as the Exterior the one with a name encircled in it like Simedarby or Goodwill. Another thing, tires have rims in it when you remove it in a vehicle, rims are the steel or iron in the center of the tire and puts the tires in place to become a vehicles wheels. Now if you remove the rim in a tire with an interior, the interior will deflate but not the exterior it will stay a bit hard enough except if theres a hole. The exterior of a tire with an interior WON'T float on water (if ur talking of plain water ok! but if ur talking of Seawater, now thats a different story) becoz usually its steel belted, only the interior will float which is usually used on beaches when u put air on it, u know the big black rubber ring like thing.
Now if you remove the rim in a tubeless tire, you will find that there is no interior in it. The exterior itself expands like an interior when you put O2 in it, only its harder. Well, except if it has holes in it. If you put a tubeless tire in water, theres a possibility that it will float on plain water (what more on seas) due to its not so hard and light kind of tire when it is deflated.
Now for your question, it depends on what tire you use, for the interior it will float eventually, for its exterior it won't float and it will take the 2 1/2 minutes engulftion.For a tubless it will also float (possibly) depends on the tire's quality.
Now correct me if im wrong, but ur joke turns out to be a review of my physics class! great! great! bouyancy eh! its not really a laugh. How about, making tires as dinner.that will be better! Id say wrong category!

If tires always float in water, how come they always find tyres at the bottom of lakes?
Tires are not entirely made of rubber- the central part is metal- so a tire could become engulfed.
It depends what your definition of 'engulfed' is- does the layer of water across the tire only have to be 0.00000000...1 mm thick? The answer to your question is 3 days and very tiny bit.
The vaguesness of the details you provided us with makes me think that you think the answer is it will never become engulfed but if you do, you're wrong, partly because you've already admitted in your question that the water has managed to get so far up the tyre- so there's no reason why it couldn't get further.

The tire will fill with water, as described, in three days, but the tire will never be engulfed because it will simply overflow onto open ground.

if you mean TYRE it is raining at 2 inches per minute... so if the tyre is 5 inches tall, it will take 2&1/2 minutes to cover the tyre not three days...

The tire will float, so it's impossible. If the tire is not on a rim then, it would depend on the size & width & depth of the tire.

Never since the tire will float?
