the tires used on the monster trucks are from farming equipment, mainly turf sprayers. they're so wide to give the equipment a low footprint when it's driving over the ground so it won't ruin the turf. they use them on monster trucks because they're very soft and are a flotation tire. some of the tread is cut off to lighten them and to give them a more aggressive look. they're actually used as part of the suspension on the trucks, because they help to absorb some of the impact from landings.
