If you do it right, almost nothing.

Every other month. I have a compressor in my garage so I can avoid the junky pumps at gas stations.

I run my rears at 21 psi and the fronts at 38 everyone always thinks I have flat tires and I check whenever I race or wind up at a track

I'm more conscience of seasonal changes like some have mentioned above with our cars that have TPMS. Cars without it, like my SC, I usually check monthly.

How do you do that??
