How often do you check tire pressure?

I check every couple weeks. I've got the duratracs in 315/75 16 and never saw more than a 1-2psi drop when the temps dropped from 50s/60s to 40s recently here

about once a week... I agree with others that temps will cause the tires to appear to have lost some PSI and in drops in temps will actually do this only because the colder it gets the air contracts and in turn does not create the same amount of pressure. with that said I only check my tire pressure AFTER I drive it for 10+ miles, this ensures that the tires are warmed up which also warms up the air inside the tires. since I will be doing most of my traveling with the tires warm from driving that is when I check the PSI. I found that doing this first nets less of a PSI loss due to cold weather and prevents over inflation.
