About
A standard passenger car tire stands about two feet across, cushioning wheels and gripping the road.
Tire sizes vary by vehicle type, with compact cars using tires under 24 inches (0.61 m) across and large pickup trucks often exceeding 32 inches (0.81 m). Heavy semi-truck tires can weigh over 100 pounds (45 kg) and reach over 40 inches (1 m) in diameter. Despite supporting thousands of pounds of vehicle weight, the actual patch of rubber touching the road from each tire is only about the size of an adult hand.
From Wikipedia
A tire or tyre is a ring-shaped component that surrounds a wheel's rim to transfer a vehicle's load from the axle through the wheel to the ground and to provide traction on the surface over which the wheel travels. Most tires, such as those for automobiles and bicycles, are pneumatically inflated structures, providing a flexible cushion that absorbs shock as the tire rolls over rough features on the surface.
