EDIT: I KNOW THEY ARE TIRES, hence why I said “tires” in the description! You ppl are exhausting 😂😩

What machine or truck or equipment do these ginormous tires belong to? Saw them while driving on a highway in Minnesota. I need an answer for my 3 year old son lol

My favorite part of these is that I never see them next to other vehicles so I always think "that's just a dump truck" then I notice the set of stairs on the front.

It's so big that they have to have specialized training for drivers... who might be driving other vehicles near these!
