Tire Temperature
Sean Donohue:
If you are going to use your hands, let me pass along a tip from back when I had to check aircraft for hot brakes after landing. Fire Chief taught us to use the back of our hands because it is more sensitive and the urge to grap is removed. The gun works better.

My Flight Engineer didn't show me that.
Sean Donohue:
We also used a wax like stick that we would use on the brakes. If it melted, the brakes were hot.
Richard Cooper:
I wish Tim would reply to this post I've made because he posted that he routinely checks his tires in rest areas with his gizmo for determining temperature.
No one has answered my question. So I'm asking again and all I want to hear is from those who use this device to check their tires. What is the normal temperature from this device (whether it's accurate or not) to expect after driving the coach on highways, etc.?
George H. Wall:
It all depends on the OUTSIDE temperature!!! Can vary by 60-70 degrees from winter to summer.
