Well, yes, but technically Marathon Plus for the non-studded version.

Yes, under 85 psi for the Marathon Winter. My winter conditions are generally just cold, with infrequent snow and a few ice storms per year, and I commute on road, so I generally ride near the max psi except when a storm is active/roads not clear/conditions warrant, and then I reduce pressure until I feel like I have good traction.
