The real question is, what caliber is necessary to shoot out those tires?

Tires are run-flat. Filled with some kind of rubber foam I guess. However, a 3 ft. deep ditch across the road would stop the truck and put everyone inside on foot if they want to continue the mission. Pretty easy to block them if their movements are known in advance.
