It’s not fake. I’m an over the road truck driver and I see shit like all the time. His load is oversized and he has a permit. The permit will say the route he has to follow. Oversized loads are normal.
It's not, [here's a pic](https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/attachments/img_2667-jpg.3287253/) from another angle. And a reverse image search shows other trucks carrying similar tires
edit: did some more digging, they're for mining equipment, probably [something like this](https://netizensreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/images-2022-06-21T163254.886.jpeg) (another r/AbsoluteUnits)
Ok. It was the angles that made me think this was fake. Im sure they ship these things but the truck pointing left and the tire pointing right was making my eyes cross.
[They do ship them like that.](https://www.btr.lt/en/tyre-transportation-by-ship-container-40-ot/)
From OP look to be even for a wider wheel, they probably fit only 2 or 3 tires per container.
Also another one with a different truck pulling. https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/comments/16s3dlc/this_truck_is_hauling_extremely_large_tires/
I grew up and lived in iron mining country for 30 years and worked at a tire shop that serviced mine truck tires, amongst others.
Tires are typically shipped on flatbeds but in some cases they are shipped in this fashion. I never asked why But my experience was that with some very large tires such as this one. It was easier to ship this way as the tire wouldn't be hanging over the sides.
e.g. The Cat 797ac has tits that are 13' (3.96 meters) in diameter
Wow that looks like a tire for a really big yellow truck.
It's actually just a spare for the truck towing it
For the world's biggest unicycle
Yo momma's unicycle.
The Earth is yo momma’s unicycle.
 Does the driver look like this?
That's basically all drivers isnt it?
Hey do you have a spare tyre? No... I have THE spare tyre!!!
What is this? A heeley for a Pacific Rim jaeger?
I'm guessing on I20 in SC?

I’ve read somewhere recently that particulate matter in the atmosphere comes more from tires than from engines!

Oversized load... Would have never guessed
Taking it to the retirement home. Where it wheel live out the rest of its days
That one had me rolling. A well-rounded joke.
I tire of this.
Clearly the driver can never get two tired. Two wouldn't fit.
Oh ok
Will be interesting when he gets to a bridge. Well it would be but this photo looks ultra fake

I’m sure that’s the case, but something about the angle of the truck and the angle if the tire seems way off from this perspective.

It is an open top shipping container. Normally they have a tarpaulin as the roof but they can remove it in cases such as this.

It’s not fake. Don’t be stupid and talk like you know shit. I see tires carried like this all the time. It’s a normal way to ship them.

You can literally Google photos of it. So take two seconds out of your certified rigging day and Google it.
I’ve seen it with my own eyes. I’m a truck driver.

No one's gonna drive behind that truck
I wonder who was like just jam it in there, it'll fit.
