If you take kinzes tire and just in the face of the tire you have 11,000 square inches. just the face not the side walls and rim. SO say you double that to 22,000 square inches.
you put 22,000 lbs on the axle for that tire so 44,000 axle load, follow?
22,000 lbs per tire divided by 22,000 square inches is 1 psi. I don't think so Chad.
