The above of course applies if you have installed the correct replacement size/type tire. If you went and put some high speed/high performance tires then the recommended spec may not apply.
The specific tire inflation ranges are almost always stamped into the sidewall of any tire.

As far as winter tires go, I don't use them anymore. Tried them for a few years and the difference was basically negligible on city roads. If you have a good pair of all season tires to begin with you're going to be fine so long as you're not driving like its summer out during a blizzard....which is why most of the accidents I've witnessed in the winter have occurred.
