I'm guessing 35-37 psi.

I'm running 30psi in the same tires, same pressure as my summers (sedan).

I would stick with the OEM pressures.

I'm running the same tires.
I set at OEM (door sticker)

You do not want hi settings for winter
hi psi setting = less grip

They're new this year, but had them in one dump of snow last week and some freezing rain yesterday, just rain today. I've found them just fine in snow, slush, water and ice based on this (very) limited experience. The best part is that they feel as good or better than the OEM Bridgestones on dry roads, although they ride just a little stiffer. They're very quiet for a winter tire, even on the highway.

I know you've got some advice to the contrary, but start with the OEM pressures from the door sticker if they're OEM size. The last thing you want to do is pump up a winter tire - you'll just kill the snow/ice traction and make them ride harshly. Watch the wear across the tread face - that will tell you over time if you are high or low on pressure. Enjoy.

I set mine to 36psi when it was 50 degrees outside, as temps fall the pressure drops to like 33-35 so it should stay in a safe range.

I'd buy them again...
I live north of GTA & had no problems last year, including ski country.
