It will increase some but not as much as one would think.

A tire made out of concrete would not compress and when width is increased the contact area would also increase.

A tire made out of bubble gum would compress less as weight is increased so contact area would stay relatively the same.

I tire fits between the two examples. It will compress more than concrete but not as much as bubble gum.
