Sure. Take the weight of your car, and divide it by the inflation in your tires. That will give you the size of the four contact patches. For example, if you have a 2640 pound car and you inflate the tires to 33 pounds per square inch, the size of the four contact patches will total 80 square inches. This is true regardless of the size or model of your tires.

Tire manufacturers don't provide specs for the size of the contact patch, because it depends on the weight of the car and the air pressure in the tires, not on any inherent characteristics of a particular tire.
Keep looking and asking if you like. You won't find it.

LOL well what size are you looking for? 205/50/15 means its 205mm tread width, although some manufacturers aren't exact with it, aka the falken 615 is a little wider than its stated 205/50/15, its about a 210-215, unless my friends have gotten some out of spec tires.

That link is to the specs from Hankook's Canadian website. I would expect the specs to be the same on their U.S. website, but the sizes available in each country may be slightly different. The Z212 specs on the U.S. site are here.

Hmmm, indeed. My appologies for that omission.
