So if I let the air out of the tire on my bike it will have a greater contract patch than the Honda. I don't think so. Considering the Honda has more tires. I am sorry but a 4inch wide tire is not going to have the same contract patch as a 10inch tire. Unless we are talking baloon tires??

If you have, say, 250 lbs. on one wheel, and the air pressure in that tire is 25 psi, the contact patch on that tire will be 10 square inches.
