I thought about that years ago, when first learning about tire temps. I thought it would be cool to have a NACA duct in front of the wheel well to suck air in to help cool the tires/hubs. Then the juices got flowing while watching a short-track NASCAR race, where the cars were spraying water into the brake cooling ducts. Why not do something similar with my FW's tires? Every 15 minutes, or so, have a mister turn on and spray directly onto the tires for about a minute. Just plumb into the fresh water tank. Yeah, your wheels would probably look pretty cr@ppy after a while with salts, but you must might save a child, er, TIRE! :-)

Lyle . . . . good idea You may not want an auto system to spray tires, but a manual one. I would use it when the exhaust was in reguneration.
I am going to try to reposition my trucks exhaust away from the trailer tire.
Hell, put a temp sensor in the wheel well and, when it trips, have the sprayer turn on. :-)
