1.) By that logic. Would it be better to run a Panaracer T-Serv 26x1.75 at 115 psi -vs- a Bontrager 26x1.5 at 90 psi. ?

2.) Does tire volume become a consideration on loaded road touring? My concern is if i switch to a 26x1.0 - 1.25 when loaded it will be a harsher ride.....and potentially have more flats...?
