What's your pressure on dedicated snow tires?

I'm curious what tire pressures you're using for your winter tires?

What about ~30-34 psi, too low, too high?

I have some Blizzaks WS60 225/40R18 coming this week from tirerack

That sounds right around what I have for my winters. I'd fill 30 if cold tires outdoor, 32 if in garage, 34 if at gas station having driven a bit. Temp flux is about 1psi/10degF.

I just topped off all four today to 36psi. It was -2* this morning and all four sensors tripped at ~31psi. It was 20* when I filled them after work when they read 31.

Winter tires do not require different air pressures.

I did 32/36 on mine in the 50 degree garage. They will need a boost up when it starts to get really cold.
