Default Winter tire pressure for Dunlop Winter M3's?

Looing for the best pressure to be at...I drive in plenty of snow and ice and muddy/gravel roads here as well as pavement...been running about 38psi but that seems low? Any thoughts?

Owners manual says to add 3-5 psi over stated pressures.

38 psi is what I run in my winter tires (not M3s, though).

I ran about 36 psi in my M3's and that seemed to work very well. Tires lasted 4 winters, and then I drove 'em another summer.
My feeling is that snow tires get better grip on snow and ice if they're not inflated too hard. I do a lot of driving from Boulder to Summit County and Vail during ski season and the M3's with 36 psi allowed me to drive fast on snow covered roads with no incident.

Thanks. I guess I'll leave them between 36-38 then...
