Just started mowing the yard in the background and left amount of tire lines. It looks wired. Is there any way to prevent the tire line while mowing?

Switch to a "hover" lawn mower

Push mower or lawn tractor?
Not sure what you are seeing but it may just be that the mower is leaving lines from going back and forth. It leans the grass over a bit when cutting.

And when you mow, mow in different directions every time if it bothers you.

Ever seen Baseball Outfields ?

Looking at OP's history, I think he's trolling us. I hope that's the case.

Don't mow it. Plant some wildflowers which smell good (sweet peas) (honey suckle) (wild lilacs white & purple on the edges of the area), etc. Leave the area as a meadow.

Overlap the a swathe that you cut. The tires push the grass down below the blades, so you have to go back over it to get it.

Add a striping kit that drags behind the mower and is wider than the tires. It will help cover up tire tracks.

That works for me. However mostly I don't care about them.
