Comfort is ultimately more important so go with works for you. I quickly grew accustomed to the extra harshn.
I can only assume you mean dramatically reduced rolling resitance, and leading to a longer coast down period, ie the car slows down less due to the tire being easier to push down the road. Why would you want to increase rolling resistance? This would require more energy to push the tire and therefore the car down the road.
