Checking tire pressures before every extended day of driving serves many purposes. First, you KNOW the tire pressure is correct for your application. Second the act of checking the tire pressure forces you to give the tires at least a cursory visual inspection for road hazard damage, nails etc., tread wear, unusual wear patterns (alignment) and tread/sidewall separation, etc.
Most tire failures give warning before they occur if you regularly check them out.
Many truckers carry a pipe or a mallet to strike each tire at the beginning of each shift. The familiar "thunk" tells you a lot, and, it's fast and easy.
