On the petrol cap of my 80q it gives two pressures for front and two 
 pressures for rear.  There is a little picture of the car showing 5 
 adults and lots of baggage indicating the fully loaded figure, and 
 there is a picture showing 2 adults and a child and a small amount of 
 baggage indicating the half/lightly loaded figure.

I have heard that for driving on sand, you should reduce tyre pressures 
 to get more of the tyre in contact with the sand.  Does the same thing 
 apply to snow driving?
