    That is not very hot. Just braking for a stop creates a lot of heat.

    If you are concerned try to get in the habit of checking temps for a period of time so you can establish “normal”. Before I got Pressure Pro I was pretty consistent about checking temps and over time I knew what to expect and even today when I shoot temps it is not the specific reading that is as important to me as a deviation from what I have learned is my normal range

    I still periodically remove sensors and check pressures and adjust them with a digital pressure gauge I know to be accurate, and I also do a walk around and shoot temps even though the PP has temp readouts. I have learned for example if I set tire pressures at what the Michelin chart says for my axle weight after a long run of a couple of hours my tire sidewall pressures are not going to vary more than 5 or 10 degrees from one another with the sunny side being warmer. I also check the wheel temps, but other than looking for one wheel hotter than others I am not really getting a good reading of the hub temps because of the hub caps that go over the lug nuts.
