I always though you were better off running a higher pressure in the winter, giving you a smaller contact area and more pressure on what does contact the ground.

Aren't skinny (width) tires better in the snow??

Now in the summer, if all you're after is grip you usually run them a little low (More contact area, better grip because the rubber grips the pavement) If its trying to grip snow/slush you want it to have more pressure, forcing the snow/slush out of the contact path.


I could be wrong though, in which case, correct me!
