There is, it's just not practical because you just need absolutely enormous tires. Look a engineering vehicles. Vehicles with pneumatic tires have a ground pressure equal to the tire inflation pressure. That could be anything from 5 psi for a sport ATV up to well over 100 psi for a heavy haul highway truck. A tracked vehicle like a bulldozer or tank is around 5-10 psi, very much on the low end of that scale despite being so fucking heavy. So tracked vehicles are lower ground pressure than most wheeled vehicles. However. If you fit really really big tires, a wheeled vehicle can float. Those huge tires on monster trucks like "bigfoot" are flotation tires from the agriculture or logging industries, and can provide enough buoyancy for vehicles to float over boggy conditions.
And such a vehicle is a giant bitch to transport.
