Uhmm how do you figure this? the rim is not changing. Its stays 20" at most the tire is adding 1" to the overall diameter of the tire and rim.
I don't understand what is making the contact patch shorter front to back? I can understand PSI having an affect on the amount of rubber touching the ground(I let my PSI out to about 15-18 at the strip for traction), but for every day 32-35 PSI driving, what is changing?
