Maybe your intuition, but it helped me to have it mentioned verbally.
I would love to share my pressure calculator, it even draws a diagram of the contact patch accounting for wheel size, tire width, pressure and weight (which challenges many common assumptions about contact patch shape). But it is Excel/Numbers; not very web friendly. With the huge range of tire sizes available now, a chart would be huge.
Please email it to me, and I'll see about making a handful of charts from it. I'm not that adept at this stuff, but I might be able to manage this.
