Another article I saw said that they are there for 'protection'. Not sure how effective they would be.
It’s supposed to make it more difficult for autonomous targeting systems to recognize the aircraft:

Worked real well.
This stems from the times when Ukraine used Drones to drop shells/grenades on the planes close to the contact line. The tires are for the planes are what the cope cages were for armored vehicles.
I thought it was a ghetto way of hoping a dropped grenade from a drone might bounce off.
