I have found the same but as it's so difficult to tell with modern stiff sidewall tyres when the pressure is half what it should be you still have to check very regularly just to be sure.

My car has a pressure monitoring system (crude one that compares wheel speeds) but it correctly flagged up a puncture that I would never have noticed by eye.
