Check your tire pressures?
Do you manually, with a tire pressure gauge on the tire, check your pressures. If so, how often? And do you check the depth of tread remaining?
Just askin'.....

Yes, every 2 weeks, and yes, periodically check the tread wear and in general do a visual inspection of the tires for damage. With all the road hazards these days and low profile tires you wanna make sure you are never underinflated and catch any damage early. Every tire has natural air loss. It's not unusually to lose up to 1 psi in a month and every 10F change in ambient temperature is another 1 psi up or down, so especially if temperatures change from hot to cold and back it's prudent to check your tire pressures.

Ya I do the manual check especially when temperatures fluctuate. Another good habit is also to check the engine oil level every week or two.
