Tire Pressure with 16" wheels?

I've slapped on some 215 50 16 tires on my 16" wheels and noticed 35 psi felt a little squishy, so I upped it to 38. That feels pretty good, but I was wondering what anybody else with this tire size is running. Thanks!

In theory you should run slightly lower tire pressure because your smaller rims mean a bigger air volume inside the tire.

Taller sidewalls will feel less crisp than lower profile tires.
