Wait, do you think the tire pressure is too high because you're not feeling a comfortable ride quality? Or is it the lack of traction that leads you to think the tire pressure is too high?

New tires take a few hundred miles to break in and traction should improve gradually. Tires typically achieve max traction when they're about 50% worn.

As for ride comfort, try lowering to 32lbs front and 32lbs rear. But that's about as low as I'd go. When you go into the high 20's you're at a much greater chance of blowing out the tires. Not to mention the uneven tread wear.
