It would increase the size of the contact patch, but with radials you will get "cupping" if you lower it much at all. Cold weather will drop the psi by 3-6 anyway (unless you have nitrogen, which I think is awesome. Used to think it was a gimmick, but I measured psi on hot days on different sides of the car before and after I went to it, and I would highly recommend nitrogen fills), and that's as low as I would take it on a radial below the regular.
