Lower height and soft as the roadways here are horrible. In the winter, though, ride height might be on High setting depending on snow removal situation.

I always use the default settings..

And just so happens I was looking through the owners manual just a few hours ago and noticed that it says to always apply the parking brake.. I have never applied the parking brake..

Not sure if that is something I want to start.. It could become addictive..

Do you guys always apply your parking brakes when parked?

Only use parking brake when parking on angle/hill. Every now and then, perhaps once every 2 or 3 weeks, if i haven't used them it i'll turn them on and off 2 times just to 'mechanically work them'.

Yes, but Texas is flat as a pancake, ain't it?

Our city is quite steep in parts - think a mini San Franscisco - but I've been lucky always to park on the level so I never use it.

Back in the days when automatics were rare, we used to have to apply the brakes in case the car was shunted forward or back, reputedly wrecking the transmission. I'm sure that doesn't apply today, but towing the car might present a problem with the brake on.

As for the original question - always as soft as I can get it. Got to overcome the hardness of these low profile tires somehow!
