Expert Reply:
You can expect a minor change in the tire pressure on your trailer tires when going from a lower elevation to a higher elevation.
You could possibly see an increase in tire pressure of 5 psi at the higher elevation, but since the air is cooler than at sea level, you may not see a change at all. My recommendation is to just check the tires when you reach higher elevation just to be on the safe side.
