I can see a certain logic to inflate so that the tire stays narrower. As an Enduro rider , we deflate because we want the tire to FLEX over uneven structure so that it can grab whatever it can and create GRIP. There is not much to grip on cold asphalt so I don't really see the need to deflate lower than the recomended psi.

No, your 315 summer performance setup will not perform at any pressure.
But if you had a winter tire compound and tread pattern, you could get good performance in wide profiles. Narrower is not always better, it depends on how the tire is designed to provide traction.
