How often do you check your tyre pressure? I try to do mine about once a week as I have a front tyre that loses about 3 psi each week. In the car I do it about once every 3 months.

About once a month for me. A little more often in the fall since the cold lowers the pressure a little.Brian - Richland, WA

Weekly on the bike, monthly on the cars. Only exception is right before a long trip I'll always check.Flock of Hawks | '13 Tacoma | '69 Falcon (currently getting reassembled!)

Re: dumb question
Not sure it says on the sidewall, maybe a maximum?Originally Posted by cgwinner
Anyway, I tend to run 32f 36r on mine.
Checking them? Every couple of weeks or every thousand miles, whichever comes first. Or when it feels off.'95 ShaftHawk 650P>

Sad to say but not often enough!!
Probably before any expected long ride..
When I used to commute I didnt check them til the steering got heavy, which would either be a soft front, a nail, a squared off tyre or even notched head bearings!!
Ooops..

Re: dumb question
Back when Ian Baille lived in Queens, he used to tell me 31psi front, 39psi rear on my Hawk. I run Avons if that means anything.Originally Posted by cgwinner1988 "BlackHawk" project
