It should be charged off to P&L as regular maintenance of Truck.

Tyre does not seem to be significant (high value) component of Truck in term of Value in order to fall under component accounting and capitalizing it separately from Truck..

Also, need to check below aspects.

What is the truck used for?

Whether you have capitalized the said truck & tyres separately in your books at the time of Purchase?

Truck used in delivering the material
truck is of 40 lac and when truck is purchased tyre is pre installed in it no seperate account is prepared

So its is part of regular repair & maintenance activity and needs to be charged off.

Ok mean if it was purchased separately and then we buy new tyre is capital expenditure ?

No, As explained in earlier reply, for separate accounting, a component needs to be of significant value in proportion of the main asset, which is not so in case of Tyre as it is low value and it will be replaced regularly throughout the life of truck.

Treat as revenue expenditure and charge to P/L A/c. 

Since it does not directly increase the earning capacity of the individual.It is accepted.

Its not  major overhaul, so expense it under maintenance, and depends if it is direct or indirect.
