Had my LCR since January and haven't ever checked them until today.
Both rear tyres were at 17 psi, front passenger at the correct 33 psi, and front drivers side was 50 psi 
Set them all to 33psi and the ride is already better. No wonder when i was hitting slight pot holes and drain covers it felt so harsh! 50 psi drivers side to blame!
How often do you guys check yours?

Fortnightly - I checked mine just over a week ago last.
On my Corsa, I check them near enough everytime I use it as i don't use it regularly (unless i'm using it for a couple of days in a row)

whats the point in checking them if they look perfectly fine? surely you can see they are losing air?
checked mine 2 weeks ago as they looked low and they were about 25-26 psi.

Im not into this taking your car to bits every other weekend to make sure its all ok,
If something is wrong it will feel wrong, you have people on fiat forum removing their front wheels every fortnight to check brake pad wear
I check the oil more than anything, because, the turbos are prone to blowing on these and heavy oil use is a sign

I check them when they look low too. It's easier with lower profile tyres, on my van I thought I'd check them and they were 10 psi when they're meant to be 69  but the tyre didn't look much different once blown back up. My god it took bloody ages

I check mine when I remember, which isn't very often I had forgotten to do it for a couple of months after buying the car, both the rears were on about 20psi  Fronts weren't too bad.
I keep meaning to do it soon because the tyre place changed my front and rear wheels over and I want to see if they changed the pressures.
