So what gives? Why was the Bridgestone cooler than the rest?
As has been mentioned, several different factors.
Tire compounds differ. I watch NASCAR races and most of the time they will mention what tire Goodyear has brought to the track. The concrete tracks get a different tire compound than the asphalt tracks which can get a different compound due to the banking and distance of the track.
Goodyear and NASCAR have been testing tires at Las Vegas this week.
Nascar Tire Test And those cars do not use TPMS! Blow a tire, hit the wall!
Maybe Goodyear sells test tires to the RV industry/consumer awaiting your feedback! :)
