Non apologetic, smug arrogance .

That must be a ladies high heel I would have thought, not a flat shoe?

EDIT I suppose I should add that men can also wear high heels if they so wish.
:eek: It was based on me wearing trainers - I can't unthink the high heels thing now :ROFLMAO:
 
60psi is the tyre internal air pressure not the ground bearing pressure which I've assumed to provide a contact patch of about 225mm x 150mm - or at least thats what my van looks like ;)
Back to the maths:

an axle mass of 2ton = 2000kg = 20 000N
Contact area 225 x 150 = 33 750 mm2

Pressure = 20 000 / (33 750 x 2) = 0.3 N/mm2
Which is 44psi

Because of the grooves in your tyres the actual contact area is less so the pressure is higher

The only way you would get away with that, would be that the ground was so soft, your foot sunk as it tracked over.
Let’s ask some other plant people for their input. WESTY66 Coastal Cruiser.
Take a look here, I did say low ground pressure tracks not a normal site dozer
