Winter Tire Pressure for Comfort?

I have been wondering what people have been setting their tire pressure values at for winter run flat tires in order to "soften" the harshness of these tires while not sacrificing any material tire properties, gas milage or handling?

I am running 17' OEM Conti runflats.

Thanks,

D

I have the same winters, I dropped the fronts down to 30 psi and 32 rear. Only helped a little, but now the non-RFT summers are on
