I aired my tires at sea level to 65 psi. But now I am traveling at higher altitudes and they are at 79-71 psi. So I think what you’re saying is I should lower back to 65, cold inflation of course. But if I drop in elevation, don’t I run the risk of being under inflated by as much as 5 psi? I do have a Doran TPMS.

Elevation, on the other hand, will have an effect on tire pressure as discussed in this article. The words altitude/elevation are not synonymous.rvlovers10100https://www.blogger.com/profile/10901891371777442236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197373783392349499.post-84417748813653138972011-07-08T20:35:22.305-07:002011-07-08T20:35:22.305-07:00Thanks again for the good info.
