In that case, to me tire choice is more important, ie not a tire with a thin sidewall if you know you could be in sharp rock stuffAlong with prudent tire pressures for the weight of you and your bike vs terrainAlong with prudent riding over stuff, a few seconds more or a minute or whatever walking a bike over bad stuff worth it depending on remoteness etc etc
in other words, using proper judgement and tire choice
