First Snow Today

Getting ready to hop on my bike with studded tires tomorrow. I was wondering what PSI I should set for them? I am expecting a lot of ice tomorrow, maybe a little bit of powder. they are 700x32 wheels.

Isn't there a recommended range on the sidewall? Then run them on the lower end of it maybe?

I keep my DIY studded tires pumped up hard to prevent the screws from moving around too much.
