Which pressure spec to follow with snows on smaller rims?

I have a 2012 2LT/RS now sporting a set of 17" wheels with Blizzaks. Do I still go with 36 pounds (presumably meant for the Pzeros) or is there a different spec for this setup?

36 is fine. However I recommend increasing snow tires by 2 PSI over the recommended pressure for the summer tires. The reason is the winter tire is a little softer sidewall design and this helps with the dry handling of the tire. However it would be safe to run 36 psi as well.
