>>I've been bad and haven't checked the tire inflation since I got the car, I think I'll do that next time I fill up. They looked okay to me though *shrug*

With either A) runflats or B) low profile tires, the stiffer sidewalls will not give a good visual indicator of tire pressure. Remember, runflats by design are meant to hold their shape under low pressure. This does not mean they will perform as if at correct pressure.
