You could maybe try and work it out but would depend on different factors.

You could jack car up so wheels are off the ground and with airbag removed use a torque gauge to turn wheels or maybe a force gauge on the wheel to see what force is required to move the wheel. This would give you the pressure required for steering alone. Repeat the same with wheels on ground and that would give you the force required to move the wheels deduct the force of the steering alone and you may have the answer your looking for.
It’ll differ from car to car depending on engine type,tyre make,tread depth road condition, even mileage on the components themselves etc.
