This is just speculation: The first wheeled vehicles had two wheels like chariots and carts. But if you put a load in a two wheeled cart it will tip over. That is not a problem with a second axel vehicle. They used the same design for cars.

If this is a serious question...a car has four wheels because it offers more stability for the weight of the car and makes it easier to handle.

There have been, and are, some 3 wheeled cars. If they only have 2 wheels........... they are called MOTORCYCLES!

What if I ask you... why animals have four legs? If you have the answer to this then you will get the answer to your question...
Good Luck!

Perhaps so the car is evenly balanced, or easier to control.
