Basically IIRC its for several reasons according to EU / UK laws.
(1) When looking down the side of the vehicle from above no TREAD must be visible past the bodywork.
(2) When the vehicle is on the motorway (Freeway) and its raining the tires will cause excessive spray which can cause nuisance and danger to other road users.
(3) Keeps the rotating wheel from catching onto cyclists or pedestrians legs as they pass by
