I see no reason to override that. But I don't see any reason to carry a lot of extra weight in the trunk, either.
Does this still hold true when your tires are no longer the same size?
I'm running 205/55R16...
Is it reasonable to expect it to require the same psi as 215/45R17s?

I've heard less psi gives you better traction on ice due to the bigger contact patch.
At the same time, higher psi would probably help you cut through snow better?
