One aspect often forgotten is that larger tires hold a larger volume of air so will resist deflection less at the same pressure. The same amount of deflection has to compress the air in the tire less. The amount of air in the tire, whether tubed or tubeless depends on the rim as much as the tire, so the rim significantly impacts both your riding pressure and "feel". Modern TLRs seem from my small sample to be wide and shallow.
