The tyres were dropped from a layby above on the A82 near Drumnadrochit during the weekend of 27-28 January.
Fish farming company Mowi, Ness District Salmon Fishery Board and Highland Council were involved in the three-day clean-up earlier this month - in which many of the tyres had to be removed by boat.
Mowi has been able to reuse 100 of the tyres as part of its operations and around 200 have been disposed of by the local authority.
Councillor Graham MacKenzie, chairman of the council's Communities and Place Committee, thanked all those who helped remove the tyres.
He said: "It is very disappointing these tyres were recklessly disposed of in this manner without a thought for the environmental impact on one of Scotland's most beautiful and popular tourist locations.
"Highland Council is already facing a significant budget gap and mindless acts like this only add to those financial pressures.
"Money spent on dealing with incidents like this only drain valuable resources needed to protect essential public services."
The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) is leading the investigation in the hunt to track down those responsible.

Paul Griffiths, unit manager at SEPA, is urging anyone with information to come forward.
He said: "Waste crime has a serious and detrimental impact on our environment, communities and compliant businesses.
"Tyres in particular have the potential to release hazardous substances if set on fire and are a blight on the landscape if not treated, recycled or disposed of properly.
"A lack of evidence often makes catching the culprits extremely difficult, and the first line of defence is stopping criminals getting their hands on waste in the first place.
"A legitimate operator should be able to tell you their SEPA waste carrier licence number and the exact location your waste will be taken to. If they won't provide those two pieces of information, don't give them your waste."
