Narrative:

Captain called me at maintenance control. He reported he had reviewed the logbook for aircraft X; a hawker 800; and noticed the tire pressures had not been checked since [the month before] and wanted to know if I could have them checked while they overnighted in ZZZ. Captain did not mention the tires looked low or unsafe in any way; only concerned over the time since they have been last checked. My first check was the maintenance tracking system and determined the last known check to be [two weeks before]. I checked but there were no maintenance (mx) vendors available overnight. I reported that to the captain and he asked about having it done in ZZZ1 after arrival. I agreed we could get mx techs to the plane at that location and time and contacted [local] contractors who agreed to meet the plane upon arrival. Since the tire manufacturer recommends tire pressures to be checked before first flight of the day; I too agreed we were increasing beyond reasonable risk; knowledgeable of catastrophic events involving low tire pressure and lack of attention to monitoring them.by the time the tire pressures were checked it had been 17 days since last check during which 23 flights took place. It is of my concern that even though all tire pressures were reported within limits; there is significant risk in going so long beyond original equipment manufacturer recommendations with something so critical as tire pressures. This is especially critical on aircraft with dual wheeled axles as a low tire can easily be masked or supported by the axle mate. Another risk factor is during winter operations with aircraft traveling from warmer climates to cold climates. Tire pressures decrease with colder temperatures.create hard line tire pressure checks within a reasonable risk period. Possibly modify wheels to have tire pressure monitoring systems currently available for aircraft that can make the tire pressure checks more easily be determined by crew.
