What do you think is the best tire pressure when you're going to do highway driving in a snowstorm?
...I'm not talking about offroad driving on unpaved snow roads. I'm just wondering how best to increase the chances of the LR3 gripping the road when we hit a slippery snow patch while traveling. This also assumes I don't care about gas mileage or tire wear in these conditions AND I'm using stock tires. (Synchrones, actually)
Just curious. I always keep the tire pressure at the recommended level, but didn't know if dropping 5-10 PSI would help or hurt me in winter driving conditions. I have found the traction control to be excellent in past winters (take it out on slippery parking lot and try to get it to fish tail!) That little exercise helped convince me that this heavy vehicle can do a lot to keep me on the road if **** hits the fan on a snowy highway.
