For those interestd, the Tire itself says no higher than 40psi, so I keep them at 38psi. I am eager to get my summer tires back on.

RE: What PSI are you running your winter tires at?
Unfortunately it hasn't snowed once since I put them on.
However I can give my dry and wet road impressions.
When I first put them on I noticed the ride got a littly mushier, I guess that is to be expected since there is added padding in the form of the tread. I have noticed a little bit of squeaking on tight fast turns on only 2 or 3 occasions, out of maybe 15 turns. There is just slightly less tactile feel of the road on dry surface.
On wet, haven't noticed any changes, obviously it should theoretically do better than the summer tires since there is more tread to allow water to escape into but I never had trouble with my summers.
So far ok, but I'm eager for my summers to be back on for a little bit harder driving fun. I'll let you know after it snows.
