Default 33" Duratrac owners, winter inflation PSI?

Question for Jk owners who have to deal with the snow and ice.

Out of curiosity, do you drop the PSI a couple pounds for better traction during the winter months?

I was thinking about dropping down to 30 from my chalk test verified 32 psi warm weather pressure for better grip in the constant drifts that cover the back roads on the way home.

Opinions?

I drop mine a couple of PSI. I run 35 psi on the street in the summer and 33 psi on the street in the winter. I have gone down to 30 but my particular winter tires look near flat then. They've got wimpy sidewalls.

I run my 285/70/17 Duratracs at 30-32 psi in the winter and 32-35 psi in the summer
