[QUOTE="puppet, post: 7214757, member: 25962"] A force must be met by an equal and opposite force otherwise there is movement. So if your tyre is 30 psi it will sink until the soil footprint is equal to 30 psi either by a bigger contact area or firmer subsoil. It is all about compaction not just weight. What would you prefer standing on your chest, an 8 stone lady on one stiletto heel or a 12 stone bloke on a 6x2 board. Obviously there may be other reasons than physics as to how some will answer this. [/QUOTE]
