hi todd,
have a look at this reference on truck tire temperatures and measuring methods.
what i wonder about is about how the pressure stem measuring devices like the pressure pro are an accurate measure of temps. the tire stem is metal, which is directly attached to the wheel. so the temperature that it measures is going to be hotter than the tire itself. so i may give pressure pro a call to see if the 210 degree temp that sets the alarm off is higher than the regular temp (150-180) to compensate for the rim making the sensor hot.
make any sense?
