I'm not really after comfort. I'm not a competitive rider but I've been riding on 115 psi just fine for years.
fwiw - past several years, I've been running my fronts approx. 10 psi lower (less diff. w/ the MTB). for example at my last pumping of the road bike I went to 100 rear 90 front. but since they burp when I take the chuck off they are closer to 90/80. these are 25mm tires & I'm approx 225lbs +bike, etc
