While playing Mercy in competitive play, I noticed that I could view the health my allied Junkrat's RIP-Tire. I was even shown a critical health indicator when the Tire had nearly been destroyed.
This made me wonder whether it was possible to heal an allied Junkrat's RIP-Tire, similar to D.Va's mech during a self-destruct.
I know that a RIP-Tire can be healed using health packs, but I'm not sure whether or not it can be healed by support heroes like Ana or Lucio.
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:
Scroll down, and you should see the option Rip Tire Automatically Climbs Walls, which will allow his ult to climb walls.

You can not heal any Hero deployables or buildables in any way (with the exception of Torbjörn healing his own Turrets).
Though previously it was possible to heal Torbjorn's turrets and Junkrat's tire with health pick-ups, that was patched out at some point without making it into the patch notes.
Some examples of buildables not being healed:
