Tire/wheel temps.
Just read through TCU, searched old threads, and ran a googlewicki…still can’t find an answer. Some Folks have mentioned checking wheel/tire temps with an IR gauge. That’s greats…but what are you look...

I would really like to have some absolute numbers...not relative..
EX; if all 4 wheels are smokin' hot this is OK as they are all the same?!
I don't think so...
So the rear wheels are hotter than front...is this normal?
I think so as they carry more load...
The old PYO aluminum wheels never felt warm...the new steel wheels do...is this just the delta CTE aluminum versus steel?
The tires are all cool...it is only the wheels that feel warm...is this normal?
Would really like to understand this whole tire/wheel/temp thing better.
What do others feel; are your rear wheels hotter than front?
What about the tires?
Have you ever had a wheel/tire feel HOT?
(I have never felt one hotter than I could put my hand on...ever...and that includes many LONG drives in hot summer temps...)
Thanks...I hope this leads to a good discussion.
