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

I have been trying to tie contact area to pressure and load. Looking at the chart, at "0" Km/h, surface area does not back-calculate as a constant 1128 cm2 and, in fact, varies considerably. So this effort does not hold up unless that contact area is just a generalization.
