winter tire pressure

Hey guys just wondering what recomended tire pressure is for winter?
I just put my winters on and they look like they could use some air but im not exactly sure what they should be set at.

Also for the guys running all seasons...should they change for winter or is a standart pressure fine?

the rule of thumb is you dont want your sidewalls too stiff or your tired wont have enough flex in them to pop the snow out of the treads... so, softer is definitely better, but too soft you will not be in control... i ran 30psi last year and it was more than fine. if you have winters though, prob 32 would be best because they are already designed with more flexible sidewalls at reg tire pressure.
