If so, there's a problem...
However as mentioned above by Jeenous if your running a low or very low profile and driving it daily, it's a good idea to check more often than not, although weekly checks is overkill, more like fortnighly and if it's consistant then monthly will suffice
I check my verts tyre pressures roughly once or twice a month because they are a very slim 30 series profile and because the car sits on the spot for up to a month at a time they sometimes loose pressure, I do move the car up and down weekly to rotate the wheels but sometimes forget...

Ive got nitrogen filled 40 series and they quite frequently go for 3 months or more without the pressures changing.

strangely yes my tyre pressures change one or two PSI every week...i think it has something to do with the temperature at the time i'm checking them, also its driven every day
another note on checking pressures remember that it should be done with the tyres cold...if they are hot you should add a bit more, something like 3/4psi works well for me

Hmm i find it strange that there's a difference weekly, yes i know the temperature aspect, but as an example from a while back i pumped my tyres up, drove 3 hours to a track day, raced the whole day, drove home, then drove for 2 weeks daily (approx 1000km) and rechecked the tyres with i think max 1 psi difference on 2 out of 4 tyres.......
I check mine once a month, if that and rarely have they changed pressure.
On the topic, i notice when cars come through work that alot of the time, the spare tyre is low or flat so something also not to forget cos you never know when you'll need to use it!!

Also set them higher than usual (i do 40psi) so theres more chance you'll have an inflated tyre if you don't check the spare for a long time, i check the spare at every service!!

I now have a tyre pressure monitoring system so
