What presures are being used?

I have 18" Contisports and run 29# front and 36# rear (cold).

How often should the pressures be checked? My dealer-mechanic advises every week or gas fill-up. I have notieced if I lag a couple of weeks, the rears drop around 6 #s and the fronts around 3-5 #.

I have around 10,000 miles -- what life should I expect? I am a relatively aggressive (

) driver.

Also, am not sure what tires I will get next. Thinking about Yoko-AVS, Contisport II, or P-0. Alternatively, I might lighten the expenses and go with Khumos. Any recommendations?
