How often should I check the tire pressure of my Toyota Corolla?

I recently bought a Toyota Corolla and I want to make sure I am properly maintaining it. How often should I check the tire pressure and should I do it myself or take it to a mechanic? Are there any specific techniques or tips I should know?

As a Toyota owner myself, I recommend checking your tire pressure at least once a month. You can do it yourself using a tire pressure gauge or take it to a mechanic. Make sure to check the recommended pressure for your specific Toyota model. In general, it's better to slightly over-inflate rather than under-inflate.

In addition to checking the tire pressure once a month, it's also a good idea to inspect your tires for any signs of wear or damage. Look out for any uneven tread wear or punctures. If you notice any issues, it's best to take it to a mechanic for further inspection.

It's also important to check your tire pressure before any long trips, as the pressure can fluctuate with temperature changes. And don't forget to check your spare tire as well! It's often overlooked but can be a lifesaver in case of a flat.
