I'm baffled to understand how tire pressure would impact allowable loads to the concrete slab and compacted sub-grade below. So a 200 psi tire would transfer twice as much weight to the slab? It possibly
could, but the motorhome weight does not change nor do the dead loads to the slab which was the OP's question. The denser air of course would weight more, and the tire profile and footprint might change.
If 200#, then the contact patch would be 1/2. The OP question was ONLY if a 4000PSI slab would support his motor home.
