Ask again using scientifc units please, then you'll get an answer, without "i think", "i guess", "i might be wrong", "maybe", "probably", "if i rember correctly"...

Myelo is right.
The absolute pressure (psi) inside the tire does not change.
But the gauge pressure (absolute pressure minus pressure of outside air, psig) will increase as you go higher.

Does the planes weight have an affect on it as well?

no the same weight was on them when you filled them at the lower alt. however if you could somehow check it you would have lower pressure off the ground than you would on the rubber (assuming alt and all other variables where the same)

Too many bad math class flashbacks in this thread. Thanks for the nightmares I'm going to have tonight
