'like impractical thinker who'd roll tyre round' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'who'd roll tyre round' is the wordplay.
'round' indicates an anagram.
'whod'+'roll'+'tyre'='whodrolltyre'
'whodrolltyre' anagrammed gives 'OTHERWORLDLY'.

Can you help me to learn more?
