What im saying is it doesnt matter if the tyre is 23 or 32 mm, the area of the contact patch is the same if the tyre pressure and the load on the wheel is the same. If the load is 100 lbs and the pressure is 100 psi the area is 1 sq inch no matter and there is no reason 100 psi should feel any softer or harder just because you put it in a wider tyre or narrower tyre.
