Several people got confused about this. It doesn't go according to weight of the vehicle but rather ground pressure of the vehicle.
So if you add more axles or more wheels or make them wider all these things can reduce the ground pressure.
A very easy way to compare between vehicles is to check the PSI that you fill the tire.
Trucks can fill up the 90 psi in some cases while cars are closer to 35.
- MichaelZuo 3y agoThat's a good point, though even a truck with 80 PSI tires would do so much more damage, >27x for a unit area, multiplied by the much larger area the tires contact the ground, that it could be hundreds of times more.
