Wow. I will try to respond to the OP and answer his question.
I run the TST system, and set my G614 Goodyear tires at 80psi. On average, my tire temps will run 5 to 10 degrees above the outside temp, and the pressures will go up 8 to 12 psi after an hour of driving. I have also noticed that the temps are considerably lower than the temp of the rim and tire when taken with my IR temp gun. I have seen as high as 115 degrees, and 97psi when running on a hot day through the Oklahoma panhandle. This is all with a 2013 Voltage that weighs in at 16,800 lbs., with 3 axles.
Hope this helps.
