Obviously, if your tire is flat, rolling resistance is very high. So there
is a minimum pressure below which rolling resistance increases. In our
testing, we found that this pressure was about at the point where the tire
no longer cornered safely - pretty low!
There also must be a maximum

Sorry Ann, I don't think I asked my question properly. I think you said the
3 fat tires (Knard) were less bouncy than narrower tires at higher
