Maybe comfort depends more on the tire model than the pressure. I've got 17" rims with stock Dunlop SP Sports, running 2.4 bar or 35 psi whatever the season. I prefer a slightly higher pressure for better steering feel because the car feels a bit sludgy if the pressure is too low.

:-) outside of the OEM recommendations, I agree it is a matter of perceived comfort. I can tell when the dealership over inflates my tires before I roll 5 feet down the drive (they consistently try to inflate up to 38 PSI or higher no matter what I tell them). For me at least on the OEM bridgestones, anything over 34 PSI feels like I'm riding in a shopping buggy. I do keep a little more air in the winter time because of the temp swings we have here in SE Tx in the winter - 35 one day - 75 the next and I just don't want to inflate or deflate the tires to keep up.
