    I mean it depends on what kinda test it was. This $30 was probably just some app, judging by the transaction description. A test by a professional is still like 500€+ here in Germany (at least the few I found when looking for a diagnosis), since it’s usually not covered by insurance



  • Meaning more surface area to hit something sharp. Yeah the larger area means lower pressure on the contact surface but I don’t think that’s the deciding factor in whether something punctures your tire. Best way to prevent punctures is tougher tires rather than larger ones. The lower pressure just helps with stuff like loose gravel or sand.
