I like this shot technically. It is very sharp, etc. I feel it would be much more effective if the gentleman were more "farmerly", i.e., overalls, etc. The shopping bag is a bit distracting as well.

Either the wheel is huge or the old-timer is really short. Looks like an interesting old man. Bet he has some stories to tell you.

Excellent perspective and sharpness. Engaging image. The only thing is... it looks a bit tilted to the right, but that's easy to correct, so - one of my top picks

Not sure I quite understand the title of this shot, I'm guessing it has something to do either with the man in the picture used to drive one of these trucks or he just happened to be in the area and you asked him to pose in front of the tire. I have to be honest, he doesn't do anything for the shot for me personally and the bag he is holding is very distracting. If you had just shot the tire without the man and then had the wheel red, with good contrasting black and white points this would have been an excellent shot. Also, I'm betting you used the history brush to bring back the red on the wheel. I have found that by enlarging the shot and using the brush you get better detail around the edges and better control On his left shoulder you can still see gray on the wheel and around the edges of the wheel and by the bottom of his sleeve on the right. And he's wearing blue pants? A hint of blue shows up around the pocket on the right. As is a 4, but if you reshoot and try this again with just the wheel, I would love to see it.
