Small airplane = small tires
Big airplane = big tires
The tires on a single-engine aircraft are smaller than on your car. The tires on a 777 are larger than those on a dump truck.
Did you know that airplane tires are filled with nitrogen, not air?

Some tail wheels are smaller than shopping cart wheels and some antique bombers and transports had tractor sized tires.
Most airliners have tires ranging in size from just larger than a tractor-trailer tire to about the size of a standard passenger car tire.
Light aircraft have quite small tires with rims 5 or 6 inches in diameter.

Depends upon the size of the aircraft. From not much larger than a jelly donut, to nearly the size of a small car.
