Default Re:Over Inflate Tires when storing trailer ?

Temperatures get down to 0o F. here - is that "extremely cold" ?
As someone who grew up in Montana (where temps regularly drop down to around -30, sometimes -40)...and who lives in a state where the mountain area temps pretty regularly drop to -30 or lower (Frasier, CO is often the coldest spot in the nation); my sense of these things is that Goodyear probably considers zero as being at the warm end of "extremely cold" and was most likely thinking more along the lines of -20 to -40. I say this because it's been my experience that you have to get down around -20 before tires will retain their flat spots for several minutes of driving.

Personally I wouldn't be moving the trailer around or doing much with it when the temp is much below 10 above...the tires aren't the only parts that get stiff and brittle in cold temperatures.
