I do try to check the tire pressure as much as I can remember, and even a 10 psi drop is noticeable. I try to keep mine at 70psi, and it's definitely noticeable when they drop below 60 or so. Slow leaks, I suppose...

My ride just hasn't been as smooth since things started getting colder, but my wheels don't seem to be flat... Do you find you need different tire pressure when the temperatures change?
