With the taller tire with a strong sidewall, it is much less likely to hit something hard enough to compress the tire against the rim.
For the most part, on hybrid type bikes with 35mm to 40mm tires, pinch flats are almost non-existent. Even if you are running your tires at 60 psi.
Thanks, I am waiting for a response from specialized (I asked if running the low psi would damage the sidewall on the armadillo tyres) and if they say it is ok that will be my new pressure
