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? |

Geez, that's funny boys, I have NEVER seen an infared unit in ANY tire engineers hands. I firmly stand on what I told Randal. Don't belive me call Hoosier, Toyo, Kumho, ect and speak to their tech department.
