Tire temps-- any info out there?
I am running G670 19.5's on our 31 foot Itasca. I have been monitoring tire temps during travel closely but have not been able to find any good info on what temps ranges are tolerable, expected, safe...

Yep: fill your tires to the "correct" pressure. When on the road and you stop, say, after a couiple hundred miles or so, aim your IR thermometer (available at, for instance, Sears) and take the temps of all the tires. If one is really hotter than the others, that tire might be a problem.
I find that the duallys just behind the exhaust pipe are always just a bit hotter than the others...I think is caused by the hot exhaust gasses hitting them.
Personally, every time I stop...for gas, food, rest, whatever, I do a "walk-around" to check things out, especially the toad hookup, and taking the temps of the tires are simply part of it.
