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, or inappropriate for the tires.

Today on a 250 mile run from Florida up to Ga ,the ambient air temp hovered around 70-- the roads were dry.Speed relatively constant 62 mph I check my temps on all 6 on every stop. Outside rears ran about 110 F. Fronts ran 115. Inside rears ran 120-125.

What is the max that these tires can be expected to take? Is anyone aware of data or charts on temps for these tires before they become risky?

Note I do a cold tire check every morning of travel and run right at 90 lbs in each tire (a bit above manufacturers spec but well within tire limits).And I am under weight on all tires- .

  • Make sure the pressure is correct and do not worry about the temp. If you take the temp as you drive just use the info, what ever it is most of the time, as the standard. If it ever exceeds the "normal" temp. It will be because the pressure is low or a brake is dragging or maybe a wheel bearing is going bad. Just keep the cold pressure correct and don't worry about the Temps
  • I think maybe your kind of worrying about a non-issue. As long as the temps are consistent and you don't have one that much hotter you really don't need to be so concerned.
