01:49 pm | If you are traveling and changing temps and elevation daily, do you change the tire pressure daily to compensate? |

02:01 pm | I've never bothered with it while traveling, you might expect around 3 or 4 psi differences with temps, as long as the tires are kept up I wouldn't worry about it on the short term, if you are going a couple of weeks you might need to check it every couple of days.
If you are in extreme temp changes you might want to keep it up more than that.

04:40 pm | I agree with John. The volume of air in our tires is not enough for the ambient temperature or a bit of air pressure difference to cause much change. Besides as the elevation increases, the temperature often falls and visa versa, so one tends to cancel the other. |

06:17 pm | On the bike, I check front and rear at ambient air temp in the mornings or start of the day's travel. I set it then.
I do it every morning.
During the day, it does warm up, but I do not try to adjust to it.

07:24 pm | I wonder how many people check the air pressure in their car tires when they travel? I have worked in service bays and have seen vehicles come in with such unbelievable tire pressures that you would pass out. Some are in excess of 50 psi and some as low as 10 psi. I check both the bike and vehicle before leaving on a trip and don't worry about it after that, unless something drastic happens, I don't mess with it after that. I have put on many miles on all my vehicles over the years and it works for me.

Roll on down there, check tha' tires daily, in tha' AM...(never know what you'll find in them )  I always check tha' PSI // proper inflation for that days ride.
