Think about this.
Your tire goes from round to flat on the ground constantly moving and flexing, leaning, and flexing, just over and over and over and over. Tires are the absolutely most important piece of safety equiptment on your bike.
Even more important than you, because no matter what you want the bike to do, if the tires dont do their job it wont happen.
Basicly check your pressure often. Every time you stop, feel the tires, for excessive heat, look at them everytime you walk near the bike. Its your only connection to the pavement before you get to test out your gear.
Most blowouts are caused by picking up a nail or other slow leak that allows the tire to get hotter and hotter as it works harder than it can. If you check frequently you more than likely will never experince it.
