What kind of pressure are you guys running on your snow tires?

So, no one who's driving on Blizzaks knows what pressures they're running?

36 psi all around seems to work for me and my 15" Blizzaks.

I've done 32, 35, and 38. It all feels the same to me.

I would run between 30 and 33 per your trim levle of Mini. If you inflate higher you will wear the center section of the tires at an accelerated pace.

Yesterday, when I installed, I set all four corners to 33. With my normal tires, I run higher in the rear (like 33F:36R), so I can rotate a little better when I feel like it. I didn't really plan on doing that in the winter (i.e. loosening up the rear end might not be such fun in the slick), so I think I'll just leave them even at 33 all the way around.
Thanks Alex (et al.) for your help!
