monitoring tire temp

I have a HF IR gun and love it for checking tire temps on all of my vehicles

Check after airing up for the trip and that is the base line for the trip. Log that so won’t have too remember.

At each stop, whether bladder relief or fuel, check all the tires and log it. After a few trips know how my setup behaves...more so since I no longer own a trailer and borrow from church member/buddies/etc.

Of course, if a tire picks up a nail/etc during the trip...it either blows, or at the next stop will be higher temp than the others (how nails/etc and low PSI kills tires...increased flexing at high speed)

Ditto the radiator/hoses/etc of the engine bay...base line and can see changes during the trip

VERY useful and economical compared to what can happen if it is going south and don’t know it...

When your pulling out of the campground and get that small nail in your tire and then your planned first stop is 3-4 hours down the road, exactly when are you going to use the ir to see your tire is either flat, destroyed from driving for miles with not enough air or so hot you can't touch it? Spending the money just might keep you from having to buy a new tire, or worst yet, sitting along the side of some expressway with 70 mph plus cars and trucks flying by inches from you and your rig. Make no difference to me what you do, but I never move my RV without the TPMS on and operational.And yes, it has saved me money letting me know a problem long before I had to replace a tire.
