In a heavy truck, each wheel has to support large road and the pressure on the road due to each wheel is large.
Since, pressure = force/area
Using of extra wheels reduces the pressure on road due to each wheel. This prevents the wheel from causing damage to the road as well as sinking into soft ground.
This is why, extra wheels are used in heavy vehicles.

As we know that P ∝ 1/A.
Due to large number of wheels the area of contact on the ground over which the weight of the heavy truck acts is increased.
This reduce the pressure (P ∝ 1/A) exerted by the truck on the ground.
