I think the contact patch/tire pressure idea is the right direction, but
you might want to calibrate your tire gauge ahead of time.  Depending on the
manufacturer and the type (pencil, dial, digital) air gauges can be off
by as much as 3-5 psi.  Even the good digital ones are usually only accurate 
to a few tenths.

To get better accuracy you might want to take measurements at several
levels of inflation and do an average.

Too bad you can't lift it, or you could make a reeeeeaaally long lever...
