Use "handwavium" to say that the arena requires cars to have electronics installed that lock the firing circuits of vehicles attempting tire shots.

That is, in fact, how it was handled in the groups I was in -- it was understood tire shots (or what-have-you) weren't allowed, so no one took them; and if some rookie came along and asked "munchkin" questions like "how do you stop someone doing that", then came the flavor-text.
"Divine Fiat" has its charms, but it is occasionally nice to be able to put a "logical" (for the game world) explanation to it -- I'm thinking of the discussion in ADQ when someone suggested "biker gangs have ceased to exist by now", specifically.
