It’s much cheaper than buying a new bike. 28s at 100 psi are far beyond reasonable for riders of reasonable weight on a typical road.
Not according to the tyre pressure calculators I was looking at, like this one

It's essentially saying that for me (100kg) on a 28mm tyre I should be running 112psi, but on a 40mm tyre I can drop to 83psi. I ran a bit lower than those figures (though I started at 110/80psi and dropped down to 100/70), though I'm sure I could run lower still but at some point that's just asking for pinch flats.
