Have I been keeping my tire pressure too low?

Off the top of my head, cold they are all 32 or 33 psi. They are 18", fwiw.

Stock wheels and tires?
If so, your recommended tire psi is on a sticker on the drivers side door jamb.

That's is for 20's. Not sure it's the same for the 18's.

lol, it would actually be suited for a poll, but I've had a conflict with a moderator here (because of my polls as well as off topic posting), so I'm trying to be respectful.

The pressure should be about 36 also for the 18" stock wheels.

typically if no placard they should be around 34-36 psi. that the rule of thumb for all passenger tires.

generally 36, lower pressure will give you better traction on ice(more tread contact), not snow.

I keep mine at 31-32 cold, they go up to 34-36 when they warm up. I have the Goodyear supercars and they seem to be very sensitive to heat.
