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? |

Yes. I have a problem with my tire engineer.
As soon as I pull into the staging lanes after an AX pass, he's on them tires like flies on sh.... Then starts the harangue......" You need .342 deg more negative camber in the left front, 2 psi more & 3psi less in the left front & left rear respectivly, both the jounce & rebound are too stiff in the right rear, aaand your washing out the front end by over braking into that hairpin. I don't know why I bother with such an oaf" I give him my best dumbfounded stare....even manage to drool, sometimes. |
