INFRARED THERMOMETER CHECKS
How many spots on a tire and wheel do you check, and what do they tell you ? Here are the ones that I check: Check spots and what I think they tell me, link

I did a spot check on my Ford Edge that I was towing behind my motorhome down a steep hill, pretty much riding the brakes lightly in the RV, while the Edge brakes where on a long time (say 3-8 minutes while going down the hill at 45 MPH). I wanted to figure out if I had the brake controller set to firm, or not.
At the bottom of the hill was a rest area, and the brakes where around 150F on a 70F afternoon. I was happy with the results, because cold brakes would indicate that the pressure was to light, and really hot brakes would indicate a need to reduce the pressure.
Happy Camping!
