Lessons from the track – tire temperature can tell you a great deal Application Note

2022-09-27
■Racing tires get very hot due to tread flex and friction generated by rotational speed and by cornering and braking. The higher the load and the higher the speed, the hotter the tire will get.But that heat will not be distributed evenly. One tire may run hotter than the others, or one area of the contact patch may be hotter than another. If you can accurately measure tire temperatures and observe how those readings are distributed across the tire, you can adjust tire pressures and suspension to achieve improved performance.
■When it comes to determining the temperature of race car tires,it is vital that the driver use the most robust and reliable thermometers on the market.
