in the United States either have 10 or 12 tires in total. However, the number of tires may vary depending on the style of truck. There are four types of garbage trucks:

Rear loaders, which pick up trash receptacles at the rear of the truck

Side loaders, which pick up trash receptacles at the sideof the truck

"Does this seem possible or should I wait until I have a large down payment? I can afford a $50k-$70k car if I can get a 5-year loan at around a 5%-interest rate. My income is around $150k per year and my credit is 770. Is dealer financing better or should I go to a bank or credit union?"
