They are simply marking their territory. Like another answerer said, tires pick up a tremendous amount of scent which dogs pick, so this could be a reason.

Oh it's not just stray dogs, as I get older I find parked cars an easy target too. For a real challenge I try for cars on the freeway, the tricky part is figuring out the windage.

Dogs pick things to mark their territory on - and car tires are about the right height that other dogs will sniff. Also why fire hydrants are a common target.

okay the scientific explanation....
Canines enjoy releasing urine on parked automobiles because they are the nearest the to a fire hydrant that is around. It is canine instinct to spread their scent on anything close by.
does that help?

a pole, a tree, a tire, a fence, a pantleg lol....it's all the same as far as they are concerned. Just letting other dogs know where they have been

They are marking. Dogs like to pee on things that stand up right. It's a dog thing.

Tires pick up a lot of scents and dogs like to pee wherever they smell something. There you have it!
