Correct answer
With a pressure gauge, regularly and when cold.
Use a pressure gauge regularly with tyres cold, comparing the reading with the manufacturer’s recommended pressure for the load. Pressure rises as tyres warm: do not simply compare a hot reading with the cold value. Do not deflate a hot tyre to reach that value. A workshop can check it, but that does not replace maintaining correct pressure.
