I feel like there's some other construction changes that can happen too - I don't know why we're running so much sidewally height, especially as the shoulder area keeps getting new composite layers embedded in the tire construction, to me a lower profile tire would absolutely be the answer - yes we'd be looking at carcass-to-rim contact more often for comparable pressures, but practically that system can run at a higher pressure without unwanted contact patch changes as the tire distorts under load into turns.
