As everyone has already said 15 psi seems low, but it is spread out over a large number of wheels. Where as a truck has fewer wheels, and truly needs pavement for easy movement. A person who weighs 200 pounds and has feet about 2 1/2 inches wide by about 12 inches long gives us, 60 square inches which would be 3 1/3 psi. These would be rectangular large feet, but it gets the point across. This number is most likely double.
