So if you run 25psi (for example) in your tires when on the vehicle, then you remove said tire, or just jack it up, the tire pressure will drop to zero, as you have no ground pressure any more????
The psi in the tire just gives it shape. The whole unit supports the vehicle but depends on the air within to maintain its shape and support, weither radia, bias ply or belted.
A large soft 32x10x15 tire will have a different ground effect than a 12ply 20" truck tire, even though they may have the same ground contact area.
