Adding air to tires - how often?

Just noticed I had posted this earlier. My internet was interrupted so didn't think it went through. :^O

I'm from a generation that often 'kicked the tires, and lit the fires' (that and being an aircraft crewchief).. and so yeah, I kick them once in a while... If I don't like the feel, I'll check their pressure and top them off.

... really.

I check em once a week unless I start to feel any difference in my ride/handling. So far I've only added air during the cold months.
