winter Tire pressure?

does anyone change their Tire pressure for Winter Driving. i was thinking about giving it a try, to see if there is any real difference.. I'm on my stock wheels & Tires for the Winter. so i don't really care what I do to them.. But if anyone else has tried this lemme know if you noticed any difference?
also what do you think a good pressure would be to raise it to?.. 38-40psi[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

for winter keep stock pressure!!!!

Raising it will cause the center of the tire to wear and decrease your snow traction.. Decreasing it can very slightly better your snow traction..but will wear the outsides of thires..cause excessive heat and on dry pavement your car won't handle well at all...maybe lower to 28 PSI..but that's it
