Interesting comment. Because everybody says that lower tire pressure is better, I've recently lowered the pressure in my Nokian W106s down to 45 psi from about 65 psi.

I suppose the lower pressure helps on bare ice, but when there's some soft or loose snow, the lower pressure doesn't seem to work that well for me. I"m considering going back to somewhat higher pressure.
