I would not say the ride is softer at all...my reason is to get equal wear on the tire. The normal tire pressure of most mid sized cars is around 32 psi. Some now are higher due to smaller side walls. The wife's Edge Sport has a psi of 50. The tires on my truck 90. The psi generally increases as the weight of the vehicle increases or the side wall decreases. A CT on a MCY is generally carrying 1/2 or less of its ability. So when we raise the pressure, the tire now has a crown on it and the center of the tire wears out long before the outsides. On a RF the sides are much stiffer, therefore requiring less psi to hold up such a small weight. I am sure you have read where folks posted they are running 40 psi on a reg CT, generally this is caused by a sidewall of less strength. A lot of debate on the subject, I am posting from experience not a book or some phobia. YMMV. Just an opinion !
