Re: Wat type of rims
This is mostly true, though it would only be perfectly true with a very elastic carcass which isn't exactly how most tires are. At the other end of the spectrum if you have a tire with a largely self-suppoting structure then doubling tire width actually does double contact patch area.
But tires fall much closer to the elastic end. Typically you could go up say 30% on tire width and still gain about 10% in patch area - same load, same inflation pressure. So about 1/3 of expected by common intuition.
