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

How do the infrared thermometer checks compare / correlate with the temperature readings from TPMS monitors?
I can see the infrared readings differentiating bearing vs tread temps (once stopped). If bearings are going bad, will the TPMS monitor pick up an elevated temperature prior to self-destruction of the bearing?
To that extent, I use the primitive "hand on center of hub" method to pick up on general comparisons from one wheel to another while stopped and a TST 507 TPMS while motoring down the road.
