HMS.. you make some good points, but I think confusing the subject a bit. PSI in any particular tire only changes the profile of that tire (see above...) but the actual air in a tire does not change the load. Two tires with different psi ratings but having the same profile on the ground (footprint) transfer the exact same load.
i.e. an 8" wide tire with 3" of contact with a 50 psi rating transfers the exact same load as a different, similar sized tire with a 110 psi rating would. The psi on the ground (receiving surface) would not change.
