-Measure tire inflation pressure on a monthly basis
-Maintain tire pressure at manufacturer's recommendation

not sure about other aircraft or departments but I know that our tire pressures are checked far more often than once a month - don't really think they are rotated either. I do know that they check the washer fluid and other fluid levels and a safety check of the turn signals and headlights.
YMMV

we have gone through 4 tires in 30 hrs on our lear due to the bad runways in India putting deep cuts in them, the last one was yesterday on a tire just 10 hours old... the cut was as deep as the tread so off it went to the scrap heap.

We had a tire blow on landing in phuket (due deep cut most likely from take off in India), cost a charter for the pax to go to destination, a overnight for the crew (was a nice place to break down), and $4000 in AOG fees to fly in a mechanic from Bangkok.... I say keep your tires in perfect condition, can save lots of money
