Want to drill a CC into fresh rape stubble with tough stalks. Old car tyres on CO4. Will it damage them?

Doubt it, as the tines will have disturbed the stubble in front of tyre, but only one way to find out.

I think it will be fine; you will be rolling them over. Maybe avoid going against the grain. If it was an issue I’m sure Horsch would have dealt with it at prototype stage. Maybe maize stubble would be a bit more testing…
