Could you reword the question a bit?
Alright, in laymans terms: Is the tread on a wider tire with shorter sidewalls “floppier” more prone to flexing than the tread on a narrow tire with taller sides?

That’s why I arrived at the conclusion that a 45- or 50-series tire, on the same car in place of 60-or higher series tire required higher air pressure to maintain the same rigidity across the patch.
