This combined with a lock of the rear over a corrugation, wouldn't have been enough to flat spot your tyre so you wouldn't be able to tell that way.
Would've been a split second and then you were sliding down the road......

Giving up on this one wants to change the bike not change the skills

Sorry to hear about the off lotii, not good at all when it happens, I wanted to see what you really meant when you mentioned tyre size?
I doubt a bigger rear tyre would help...... when you talk about reserve do you mean rubber past your chicken strips? I doubt you are using all the tyre to start with so the tyre size would be irrelevant in this case.
There are a few of us that race on skinny tyres & 18 inch rims with little choice for tyre or compounds, works just fine all the way to the edges
Skinny tyres generally tend to have more surface area / they curve around more so if its contact patch you are after you shouldn't run out at all
Oh & there is a wealth of knowledge to be found round here, plenty of opinions either way, we are here to help in whatever capacity possible
