Default What is a safe tire temperature?

Hi all,

What is the max. safe temperature range? what was your tire temperature? On side wall, on threads, on steer and drive tires?

Thanks,

Terry

There are other variables such as ambient temperature, direct sunlight (driving north in the afternoon will increase temps on the driver's side), excessive brake use (such as mountain driving or city driving). I have never seen our tires hotter than about 115-120. Usually below 100.

My steer 365s usually run under 140, and the rest of the 315s run in the 160s. This is running 75 in 90+ degree weather. Newell told me as long as the tired are below 180, it is usually ok

Are you guys pointing the IR guns at the sidewalls or reaching around to hit the tread? Is there much of a difference if you sample different places on a given tire?
