400 pounds per half a square inch, 800 psi. And walking with a heel strike is generally considered as more than body weight impact. I’ve read that in running maybe twice body weight? Even walking has got to be 1.2 or more? So yeah hitting with something like a 1000 psi all over the new floors. And stilettos are often small than half square inch surface area.
Oh. As to the ancient OP - of course the weight of the car is being held up by way of the area of contact with ground, the pounds of the car held up spread across the number of square inches. Where else is that force going? Yes that is the pressure you’d measure against the ground and in the tire at points the tire is not touching the ground.

I think it could if the contact area, the footprint, is small enough and the weight of the tank is nonzero.
