Do you check your tires, at least visually, EVERY time you are going to go somewhere?

I check them about once week or so , I think.

I check air pressure each time I fuel up.

Visual every morning before I leave home.

Air pressure occasionally or if something looks/feels different..

Wife checks hers only after driving 60 or so miles on a flat...

TPMS is great until is about 10 years old and those batteries in the tire die.

Or the tire change dude busts the chit out of it. Then claims it was like that already. Funny it worked just fine 15 min earlier.

Over the years I've gotten pretty good at visually checking tires. Keep a tire pressure gauge in the glove box if I wanna know exactly. My '09 Tacoma doesn't tell me which tire is low if the tire pressure light comes on but by that time I can usually spot it. I drive around for 6 months at a time with that light on because I have two complete sets of wheels & mounted tires. One set for winter and the other set for the rest of the year. One set of wheels doesn't have the tire pressure monitors calibrated to my truck so the tire pressure light stays on even though the pressure is fine. I can live without a tire pressure monitor; have done so most of my life.

Same here only on an '11 F250.

Very rarely. Every few months I will drop by Discount Tire for an air check.

A couple of years ago I gave everyone in my family and brother and sisters families a good tire gauge for Christmas. The girls and some of the boys I'm sure don't use them. Oh well. Half of them don't change a flat, probably don't know how. All our vehicles have a proper 24 inch breaking handle and lug nut socket in the vehicle. I keep roadside assistance on our vehicles in case of a problem when they are too far away for me to help.

Almost never, until high mileage than I look at tread depth occasionally. All my vehicles have a dash read out for tire pressure.

While out desert running BLM roads

will drop air down to 15-16 psi

Pump back up to 34-35 psi when back to pavement using a Viair compressor

Amazing how well the Taco rides at 16 psi & traction in snow just in 2wd
