Success!!! My final attempt took about 2-3 hours...

I bolted a grain truck dual tire/wheel assembly to the top of my dirt scoop and used that as a stationary die. I then fabbed up some clamps on the sides of the tire and pulled the sidewalls down with chains using the pallet forks/front end loader. I couldn't pull from the back side, so I had to rotate the tire 180 degrees and finish up the other side. In my opinion, the end result has a very nice shape.

VERY nice results,,, :thumbsup:
The only tire I have is the Michigan loader tire I flip inside-out by hand 20 times a day for exercise,,,

It is the only way I can stay looking like Dwayne Johnson without using steroids!!

Nice. I guess you were determined to geter done. What did you use to make the cuts with?

That looks a lot like how we used to do it. We had a large round tank - 45" diameter or so that we put up next to a large tree and put the bead side of the tire next to it. Then we put one chain inside the tire and put two more chains on hooked to the first - to a tractor on the other side of the tree and back to the first - so we basically had four points of pulling the tire against the tank. they popped right through. We probably had forty of these as we used them for cattle feed bunks.

I used a sawzall with a metal blade (fine toothed)

Yes, I do too. Good job. It reminds me of an artichoke some what, and will look nice full of flowers.
