I became comfortable running low pressures (~52/56 fr/rr,) but that’s not the way forward I suppose.
At 210 lbs 52/56 is way too low. But I guess you now know that!

62/67 is also still pretty marginal at your weight, but probably won't pinch flat. I run 70/75 on 30 mm tyres at 175 lbs on rough crappy roads. Never had a pinch flat ever.
