What is a safe range of temperatures on trailer tires.
I have one of those point & read thermal readers. It has a laser on it so you kInda know where you point it. I usually point it first at a sidewall, then at the wheel parts and finally the hub. Takes a couple of seconds per tire. Yesterday, 3 tires were 108 and one at 120. I am guessing it might have a lower pressure. I intend to check tomorrow. Today, after an hour or so of 60mph running on the interstate, all 4 read in the mid 90s.
I have a tpms to install but first I need steel valve stems which I can’t see doing without replacing the tires with 15k miles on them.
