Lower pressure increases contact patch size too and gives you more grip, I think racecars typically run low tire pressures (although they are wearing rather different tires from our cars). Of course since the tire has some degree of structural integrity of its own so it's not the linear relationship some people claim it to be. However the sidewall deforms more when you reduce pressure and that's said to "reduce feel" among other things.
My car has 26psi front 32psi rear written on it, and factory suspension is not the most comfy thing ever, but after I increased the pressure slightly I think it's noticably less comfy.
