How often do you check the air in your tires?

At least once or twice a month. It's so easy to remember now that I bought my nifty tire gauge!

It's much easier now David has is own gauge and I don't have to hunt it down. I def check them when the outside temp changes drastically.

I probably should do that ..usually I remember to do it when I'm cleaning the car/rims :)

and those automatic sensors that cars come with now do not work! do not rely on them!

i try to every other week ..but as the weather gets colder it might be a good idea to check more often

Yeah but 'member Mariah isn't my daily driver, so I only fill the tank about once a month. You do too have the time, you're a tire gurl! lol

I think tires get neglected on more cars than oil! I actually somehow ended up with two mini compressors for filling the tires so one is always in the car. Runs off the electrical outlet (cigarette lighter thing)

you have two that means you can spare one ..lol. that's a cool idea, never heard of those. This last time I waited between oil changes to check tires (cos I was lazy and let the dealership do it LOL) and this was on the Fusion. When they came back, they said one of the tires was low enough to have made the sensor in the car go off, but it didn't. So now I'm like well why even have it?:duh:
