Yeah the larger area means lower pressure on the contact surface but I don’t think that’s the deciding factor in whether something punctures your tire. Best way to prevent punctures is tougher tires rather than larger ones. The lower pressure just helps with stuff like loose gravel or sand.

There are also puncture self repairing tires now. They have a gel like layer on the inside which gets pushed out into the hole sealing it. I have them and haven’t had a flat in over 5 years.

That is what happens after the puncture, though. Doesn’t really change anything about what I said. But if that works for you, that’s good.

Oh no, I totally agree with you, it was just a tip in addition, I wasn’t arguing what you said.
