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? |

Ha ha. So far.. the Yokohama rep for SoCal is one of the best around. He actually goes out of his way to get different compounds for the teams.
