What machine uses tires that big?

          Actually, this is two part question.

First, what manner of machine would use tires that large?

Second, what are some of the most interesting things you've seen hauled on the road?

Trucks in open pit and strip mining operations usually. The environmentally friendly stuff.

Leaning towards mining equipment so far.

Looks like tires for one of the big dump trucks they use in the open pit mines. Those things are pretty huge! I once towed a full shed down the road on the back of a flatbed truck in the middle of the remnants of a hurricane. That was pretty interesting. Those are some huge tires! We frequently see blades for wind turbines get towed all over the place where I live. It is interesting how they have to tow them given the length of the pieces.

Yeah, I think that's the consensus right now, dump truck from the mine.

There is one wind farm along the segment of the I-15 I drive. I guess my chance of seeing those parts being hauled is rare.

First, the trucks carrying gold, guns, and opium to my evil overlord compound.

Second, pigs. From personal experience I can say there are few things better in life than being stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic on a hot sweltering day in a beater car with no air conditioning behind a truck filled with pigs, downwind from a slaughterhouse.
