[QUOTE="Dave W, post: 7214827, member: 643"] Well unless I'm totally missing the point. You alter the amount of air in the tire to change its shape and thus area in contact with ground. The tractor will weigh the same but the footprint varies with the amount of air. Bigger footprint =less pressure exerted on the ground. the fact that ground pressure and volume of air in the is expressed in the same way is purely coincidental. [/QUOTE]
