THIS is the correct answer- Install a TST Tire Pressure & Temperature Monitor and you'll never have to worry about or checking the pressures again (just turn on the monitor & you're done) !
If the temperature rises to dangerous levels (165* +) or if the pressure drops by x percentage or pressure the monitor alarm will sound to notify you.
Install sensors on your toad or trailer too & you'll know the pressure & temp while you tow ! - Cold. The tires are designed to heat up and increase in pressure.
