Winter tyres pressures

[675rrr]

Been looking everywhere and they say that for the 235 60 18 for eco driving its 39 psi.

I have also found that 39 is too hard and effects the ride, so who do i believe?

37 all round for me, works a treat - not soft and aw allows, and not brick hard

Are these tyre pressures for Winter,, or Winter Tyre Pressures... which leads to my question - are pressures generally different on Winter Tyres and Summer tyres and would the forum suggest if using the same tyres all year round that you run a different pressure in the winter

Is there such a thing as winter tyre pressure?
My previous S60 & current S60 have tyre pressures for normal, heavy and high (>100mph) load. No mention of "winter" so the assumption must be winter tyres are the same as normal tyres as there is no call out for anything different on the plate inside the door pillar.

I have Nokian WR G2 winter tyres fitted and the Nokian website says to run at 2psi above normal summer tyre pressures. But as Volvo state 35psi for normal and 39psi for ECO, which do you add 2psi to?
Either way I run mine at 37psi same as my summers, and they have been fine.

I thought the modern thinking was to run them at the same pressures, winter and summer. Tyre technology has moved on. I do that on my car anyway.

"Modern thinking"? My info above is current from the Nokian website. They make the tyres, so I assume they know best
But I think most of the posts above pretty much agree on running them same as summer tyres

37 all year round sounds good to me...many thanks

That seems quite reasonable -
39 psi to harden up the tyre and reduce rolling resistance = better fuel consumption

39 psi as above makes the ride so uncomfortable that you drive slower = better fuel consumption

Sooo ECO wins and user has his liver shaken up.......

- I better put a smiley larf, else the OP will think I'm having a 'go'.
