Normal and Maximum Tire Tread Temps?
Came back in from a fairly short, 170 mile trip at no more than 65MPH. We experienced no problems, but for grins and giggles, I decided to take out the trusty laser-temp gun and measure the tire trea...

I also 'shoot' the temp gun at the tires and hubs. The most I've gotten at the tire tread is in the upper 140's. And, it takes a long time to get there (100's of miles).
My tire pressure monitoring system shows pressure and temp and it does seem accurate.
For those that just fill to the max and forget about it, also do an inspection of your tires before departure. Yes, they might be full of air right then but you never if you have run over a nail or something that you might see. I always look at the tires the best that I can before we head out each morning.
Safe travels,
