In retrospect, I think 650b wheels might work better. These are "borrowed" from another bike that really didn't need 3 wheel-sets, and I can see where having a dynamo hub could be nice.
I find it is interesting to try different pressures with varying load weight, or not, and seeing how the ride is at different pressures. The main thing with wider tires like yours is taking advantage of how well they ride over bumpy stuff, and or looser surfaces too.

Have fun experimenting.
