I put mine (205/45-16) at 42psi or so. I find this improves handling in the dry and gives me MARGINALLY better bite in the snow. this is with Toyo Proxes4 tires, adn I would have to re-experiment with any other tire, as they all behave differntly. My preferred pressure and yours will be different due to tires. driving style (or lack thereof) and maybe even local road surfaces.
I find lower pressures give the car a "slushy" feeling in corners, but improve braking response (the patch's aspect ratio changes as well as its area)
YMMV
