In case this story on that Stearman hasn't been told...
He landed and was taxiing to his assigned parking spot when a tire dropped into a pot hole in the asphalt. Had it not been for that float sticking so far out in front of the plane, the sudden stop would have probably caused a nose over. By the same token, without the floats, the tires are larger and probably wouldn't have been effected so forcefully by the pot hole.

Mudge the informant :roll:
(Does that sound right?)
