why does a truck has a wider tyre

Answers

Answered by Deepaksw

Wider tyres increase the surface area of contact and consequently,reduce the pressure

Answered by Anonymous

Pressure is inversely proportional to area.
Wider tyres helps to distribute the force(mass of truck) over a large surface area preventing them from bursting.
