My logic here is that those two entities act more like player entities and less like projectiles. Both of them can be hooked by Roadhog's Chain Hook for example, and I think they can also be stunned, trapped by a Junkrat's Steel Trap or get caught in Zarya's Graviton Surge. In Junkrat's case, the player even takes control over the "projectile"! So how are those entities treated when it comes to Symmetra's Teleporter? Can Junkrat's Rip Tire use the Teleporter? Can a traveling D.Va Self-Destruct use the Teleporter?

The Rip Tire actually has an HP bar which means it can tank a certain amount of damage before it blows up. It has 100 effective HP. This means that you can shoot at it to blow it up, explosives also seem to work better against it to blow it up early. High speed, large splash area and early trigger possibility means, in general, you should try to get far away from the sound so you have more time to blow up the tire.
The information presented in the other answer is factually incorrect. If Junkrat dies while Rip Tire is still in play, it will not be automatically be destroyed, and can still be controlled until either its duration runs out or it is destroyed.
- When used, you will be able to control the Rip-Tire while your Junkrat character stays still and is vulnerable while you control the tire. If Junkrat dies, you will still be able to control the tire until it explodes.
Upon detonating the Rip Tire or having an enemy destroy it, if you have died, the screen will show your dead body, then show the killcam for it.
Without changing the options, as Yuuki below points out, you can hold your Spacebar key to climb walls manually.
If you want it to climb walls automatically, you'll need to head on to:
- Options menu
- Controls menu
- Select Junkrat from the All Heroes list.
Scroll down, and you should see the option Rip Tire Automatically Climbs Walls, which will allow his ult to climb walls.

With the most recent Symmatra rework, where her teleporter is now a standard ability, both a rogue tire and an unpiloted mech can travel through it. The player controls whether the tire does, using the same interact button as by themselves, while the mech does by itself if boosted into it or the teleporter appears underneath it.
(Back when the teleporter was an ultimate, neither of these things could use it.)
