I don't, but I've got a pretty good eye for low tire pressure and I'm more sensitive to what my car is doing while I'm driving than most people are.
The oil change place I usually go to checks tire pressure as part of their inspection. that's about the only time mine get checked (and last time they were over-pressure, because I had filled them during the winter, and it was about 110 degrees out when they checked). Oh, and if I'm talking like a car snob, and you're surprised I don't change my own oil: I just don't like the hassle of disposal, and it barely saves me any money.
Really, though, while it's a good idea to check frequently, it isn't strictly necessary for everyone to check at the same interval. Not everyone's tires are equal, and not everyone has the same awareness of what their car is doing.

I look them over everytime I go to drive my truck. If I see one that looks low then I check them all and air them up. My truck is fairly new and has low miles on it. The more miles and the older it gets, the more that I will check the tires. I would say about every two months is a good figure to work with. Looking the tires over before you drive it is also a good idea.
good luck.

You should make it a routine at least weekly to check the pressure in them and add air if needed. this way you will know if you have a tire that has a slow leak keeping all you tires inflated properly will also help you keep your tires longer and keep you from having uneven wear.

I check the air pressure at every oil change. If you need to add air fairly often, you should check for leaks. Spray soapy water on them and look for bubbles.

No, but I do check them every couple months. Especially in the winter.
Correct tire pressure is very important. It not only saves you gas, but it helps your tires last longer.
One bit of added advice, rotate your tires periodically. I rotate mine every other oil change.

I have them checked professionally every 3,000 miles when I get a maintenance check.
