"Given a constant mass, and constant pressure per area, the area has to be the same."
Yes, we all agree on that. If you read our posts we didn't say anything contrary to that. What Ed and I said, is that the interior tire air PSI doesn't necessarily equal the PSI that the outside of the tire exerts on the road surface, because the sidewalls themselves could conceivably carry part of the weight.
