Winter PSI value for the Tires

I live in MN and it is very cold during the winter , what would be the right base PSI for the tires to keep the standard Nissan recommended 33 PSI all the time, even when there is -30F outside, thanks

Simple, cold pressure of 33 PSI. It really all depends on what kind of swing you have from warm to cold. IF you see less then 30 degrees difference from warmest part of the day to coldest, then just air them up cold to 33PSI.

On winters, I have gone with 30 PSI, just to make sure my tire gets max. contact on road. But 30 PSI shrinks to 26-28 PSI overnight, which i have observed.

On one hell of a cold day set your pressure to 33 psi as recommended. Check pressures often and adjust as necessary.

Oh, forgot to mention that 33 psi is 33 psi whether at 150 degrees F or absolute zero. :-)
