though it would be that much off ... assuming the conversion is PSI = 14.696 x atmosphere my 2.5 would be 36.7. So just gotta lower it a little to 2.3 or 2.4.
I guess the question remains whether winter tires need any adjustment in pressure or are they run based on the same recommendation as oems?

I've had mine on a week or so. I cranked then up to 35 psi to help offset the saggy sidewalls, but there's a limit somewhere. The bigger problem I think is riding on those independent tread blocks - very squirmy! Spring can't come fast enough for me!
