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...

Buy the TPMS. $300-400 bucks is nothing to protect your investment, not to mention your family. Aiming an IR temp gun at your tires so you don't have to spend the time to take a pressure reading? WTF?
2 motorhomes over 6 years, I've lost 3 tires. The first 2 were catastrophe's. The third I had a TST system installed, I knew it was going down before it did, had time to get safely off the road, where I watch the pressure go to zero inside of 3 minutes.
Inspection showed the tread was peeling off, a few more miles at 65 it woulda been tearing the h-e-double hockey sticks outa the underside of my motorhome.
