In the hot SW my Ribs ran 115 to 120 degrees. LTX M/S on the truck run around 125 degrees. I have seen people post about ST's run as high as 150 degrees. Chris
If they are getting 150 external temps then the internal is probably 180+ which is approaching critical.
As ERS pointed out tire "aging" doubles with every 10° increase in temp so that means life is cut in half with life in this case being time to failure not miles to wear-out.
If you get external readings of 150+ I strongly suggest you make some changes ASAP.
