At least once a month. Ideally, once a week.

If you get into the habit of doing it anytime you perform some maintenance on the car you can't go wrong. By maintenance I mean such things as washing it, vacuuming it, changing the oil (if you do it yourself), adding washer fluid, etc.

Another time that is good would be whenever you fill up the gas tank. Sure, with the modern pumps not allowing you to latch the pump on anymore, you do spend a bit more time but it's a safety and economic (tire wear) issue and well worth it.

1. Once every month if temperatures are relatively flat.
2. Before driving the car, you want the cold tire pressure.
3. If the temperature changes by 10 degrees F

I check mine every time I get gas, which is about once every 10 days or so.

Question about checking with the TPM in the E92: If all the tires were properly set and the sensor reset, can I check one tire and assume that if that one reads good that the rest are as well as the monitor should alert if pressure were down in a tire?
