Tire Pressure/Contact Area/Weight
If you inflate a tire to 50 psig. If the contact patch of the tire is 6" x 12" (74 inches square). Is the weight on the tire 3700#? :h

CapriRacer - At some point in the discussion the force acting downward at the axle must equal the force acting upwards at the tire contact patch. Your reference seems to detour around that basic effect. I.e., Newton's third law.
