There is not much choce here!
If you load up your touringbike, the weight of the gear will increse the pressur on the tire. So a higher pressure in the tubes is nessesary in order not to damage the tire/tube/wheel! It will also mean that the tire will fend of objects that could penetrate the tire easier.
But I see no reason to run higher pressure than recomended by the manufacturer.I prefere to use Schwalbe Marathon HS308 1,75" wide tires on my 26" wheels because they can take 5 bar. With a narrow profile they roll easier than the Continental TopTouring and are also more puncture resistant!
