Yesterday I drove the 84 Caprice and aired the tires up to 40 hot, They were all down a few PSI. I hadn't driven the car for about a month when I aired them up. I have no idea how old the tires are so perhaps I should ask my uncle if he knows.

Once you get used to it you can tell the pressure from the tone, though that tends to rise a bit with wear. It also gets easier.

So that's why I saw that in a Back To The Future trailer. I never knew that before, Thanks.

Perhaps not that frequently, It depends on the car and the tires (Counting the age of them) and the driver and the amount of miles traveled; In other words, Timing. For me and for 100+ mile trips, Checking before the trip would help right now.
Edit/Update: I think the tires should be replaced some time soon. I don't drive the car much.
