I bought one of those infrared heat-measuring guns and thought I was really pretty cool out there measuring the temperature (inside, middle, outside) on my tires, only to discover from Tony that the infrared guns are not the way to go. It was also fun at Buttonwillow to measure the blacktop temperature (140).
Now, in order to get a more accurate temperature reading, I have to get one of those probe-measuring devices. Which unit has worked for you and where do you find them? |

Um... yeah. Pretty easy common sense answer. Heat is generated in the area doing the most work. The whole idea is to have a tire that is evenly distributing the load across the tire.
Too much inside heat and I would say too much negative camber. Stand the tire up. B |
