When should you check your tire pressure?

Answer 1

Some professional drivers are required to check their tire pressure every day. This is a good practice even for a casual driver. It is a good habit to visually check your tires every time you drive by making a quick walk around the vehicle and use a pressure guage if any tire appears to be less inflated than the others, or show any unusual change. Also if you notice your car handles differently, pulling to one side or the other or tending to sway when you change lanes you might have lost pressure on one tire. Every 250 miles or weekly when filling up on gas is also a good practice. Periodic inspection of your tires may spare you the inconvenience of being stranded with a flat tire. It can also provide you with vital information about your steering and suspension so problems can be addressed before major damage occurs.
