wheel bearing and tire temperatures
When you use a digital infrared temperature sensor what are the acceptable temperatures for tires and wheel bearing in the summer? Basically when it is in the 90's outside.

On a 90 degree day I will see tire temps on my 15K fifth wheel of 130 degrees running at 65mph. A pressure rise of 15 lbs is also common but this is highly dependent on the tire you are running. I have load range G tires with 100 lbs cold. These readings come from my TST Monitoring system with internal sensors. I do have an infrared non contact thermometer and hit the bearings and drums looking for consistency between all as it varies by how hard you brake before stopping.
