I agree this seems bizzare at best. "According to a study conducted by the Motorcycle Industry Council (MIC), the number of American households with at least one motorcycle in their garage has reached 8.02 percent in 2018." [1] "The total of motorcycles owned by US families has now reached 13.1M—12.2M or 93 % of which are active on the road, a decrease in percentage over 2014 (96.1%)." [1] While these numbers do not say "and they plan to purchase tires" (tyres?), I can not imagine that the number of those planning to purchase tires would be greater than the number of people with cars who plan to purchase tires. There are roughly 276.1 Million cars registered. [2] That does not mean anything, but inference would seem to suggest more people would purchase tires for cars. Of course, this article may have given the respondents a multiple choice sheet (with just those choices :) I sill lay claim, I can not imagine asking 100 people what they want to do with the tax refund, and their answers even remotely aligning with those. I might live in a strange part of the US, but I know the answers here would look much more like: Fishing rods. Fishing reel. Tackle. Parts for the boat and motor. That #$@%^ thing I have not fixed on the house yet. That other #$^!@# thing I have not fixed on the house yet. BBQ supplies. Pay off debt.
