       Semi tires weigh like a hundred pounds. You'd get very little range with four of those bad boys.  A semi tractor weighs 10k to 25k lbs with ten wheels. So 1k to 2.5k lbs per tire vs 1.75k lbs per tire on the cybertruck. The cybertruck weighs about 1500 lbs more than my truck. 
      
      I'm sure there are better tires but reducing rotational weight is good too. If I had one I'd trade less charging for more tires. I guess I'd use the money I'd save on oil changes to buy the extra tires (math does not work on that. )
