I've been running my snow tires for about 2-3 months now on 34 psi.

I never thought twice about it because that's what summer tires normally are set to.
Well, i was adding a little air today and noticed that the sidewall say max psi 55 or 60 (can't remember). That made me think maybe i am running too low for these tires.

They are dunlop wintersport m3's. 205 front, 225 rear. 16" rims

I know snow tires are supposed to cut through the snow which is why i got a little curious.

Anyways, what should i do? Most of the time here, it is just cold outside and the roads are clear but wet. There is the occasional hard snow that lasts for a couple days, but in my city, the plows are usually very quick about it (small town with tons of snow trucks and plenty of salt to use).
I'm mainly saying this because I dont want to cause any unusual wear on my tires.
So what should i run that will cause the least wear?

thanks

 

I would say to just run the same air pressure year round. The PSI is based on the car and that did not change.

 

ok i was just wondering if it would help/ change the way the tires grip in the snow and on wet road just like how changing tire pressure in the dry can.

thanks for the help

 

Run the OEM tire inflation. Honda selected amounts that make the car behave predictably.

The "max PSI" is always printed for safety reasons on tires and it's usually some astronomical figure. You can ignore it.
