Yes, we have the Lexæ RX350 tire pressure constantly displayed.
But no tire temperature.
During an emergent blood plateletransport on a hot eastern plains interstate, the pressure surprisingly rose only 1 PSI from 45 to 46 PSI in MAX 51 PSI tires.
Outside air temperature read 103º F. Inside felt similar.
They are the largest tires which will fit.
And as stated to you many times before that tire pressure is way too high and DANGEROUS. You are a danger to yourself and other drivers on the road.
I think that most of us would be interested in seeing a list of passenger vehicles that display tire temperature. Please provide a list for us.
None known. But would be so easy today.
Could the harder tires flexing less create less heat creating less tire pressure increase.
Tire store flunkies say thathese higher pressures are fine.
And yet, you choose to gripe that your vehicle lacks that feature–just like every other model.
The compromise for that reduced tire wall flexion is reduced contact patch, and hypersensitive steering that makes you feel like you’re driving across an ice rink.
Must have been at night; tire pressure generally increases by more than 1 psi from “cold” just from the increase in daily temperature.
How did you fit your hand inside the tire, did you dismount the tire?
Inboard and outboard sides of the tires are cooled by ambient air, the rubber inside the tire is not.
Flexing causes heat, that is the reason increased air pressure is necessary for safe high-speed operation.
Heaven forbid you cause an accident and someone gets hurt. But if it does happen I sure hope the lawyer for the person you injured does some forensic digging and finds your remarks on this forum and sues you ■■■ for everything you’ve got. Then turn the evidence over to the prosecutor and you get charged for knowingly driving an unsafe vehicle that causes ■■■■■■ injury - which in some states is a Felony.
The temperature of the tire is directly related to the pressure via the ideal gas law.
The pressure rise tells you how hot the tire is but the actual number does not matter since you don’t know what the critical temp of the tires you have is.
If you see the pressure rise on one tire by 8 to 10 psi while the others rise by 3 or 4 psi. Stop and check that one tire.
I have no idea what this is about but all the information I have read says tire pressure is set cold. Outside extreme temps from 20 below to 100 above can rewire a little adjusting but not much. Even at highway speeds on a 90 degree day, pressures do not seem to change much over a few psi. When I start the car in the morning I take a Quick Look at the tpms for any great changes. Mainly to see if one has developed a leak. Then drive on. I don’t know what car tire would recommend 45 psi cold but I am not an expert. My trailer is at 60 but a car tire??
Sorry. Meant inside the vehicle.
To minimze stress on the engine I do not use air conditoning.
Good sweat-out by the time I reach the hospital.
Yes. Why I do not drive fast around other vehicles.
A few years ago noticed right rear tire pressure declining. (Front tire kicked up something which punctured rear?)
Called State Patrol asking if they could take the blood platelets if I mustop.
It would take a trooper 20 minutes to get to my location. In less time I could put on the spare.
Luckily the pressure remained at 25 psi to the hospital.
DiscounTire repaired the tire. Forgot cause.
The one time it would have been handy to have a portable compressor. Geez, can’t carry everything. Headed south to Springfield for the Lincoln library. Might have been Sunday. 100 miles out my pressure alarm went off. Everything closed but found one closed station with an air hose. Down to about 20 psi by then. Made it to Walmart in Springfield and put a boot in the tire. No point putting the space saver on since we were about 500 miles from home so patch or new tire for the trip home. Two inch construction screw picked up somewhere.
Many portable 12V comps available the size of a larger Bible. Mmm the irony!
For those that need onboard air compressors, a lot of off roaders run these to air their tires back up with for the drive home after airing down before off roading… They can be hard mounted under the seat, under hood, or about any creative place for quick access but out of the way…
Oh please. Doesn’t matter if you drive fast or slow. If you’re driving a vehicle which many people have shown you as unsafe and EVERY automotive engineer says is UNSAFE - you are a risk to yourself and everyone on the road with you.
Please don’t feed the troll
That’s what I do also, but I sometimes check once more if I’m on a long drive. Better safe than sorry.
Lawyers are the cause of this.
“Back In The Day” the rule of thumb was 8-10 years of life regardless of treadwear. Another rule of thumb was “no puncture repairs to the sidewall”, but how it seems tire stores won’t repair anything within an inch (or more) from the sidewall.
Tires haven’t changed. But lawsuits are making tire manufacturers and stores less willing to tell you to keep your tires longer or with puncture damage anywhere but the very center.
Oh, by the way, they sell more tires this way.
But despite your knowing this shady reality, if a tire store says they won’t fix it, they won’t fix it. And you buy one or more new tires.
I might pull them off, coast them sith soapy water, and find the sourc eof the leak(s)
-
Sidewall? Definitely replace them
Tread? Find the nail and patch it.
Valve? Replace the valve core or the whole stem.
In this case, I’d probably go along with the shop and replace them all, especially if you are going to keep the car.
