What Is the Maximum Temperature a Tire Should Get to?
Question:
What is the highest temperature that this Westlake tire can operate safely on the highway on a really hot day. These tires are on my Grand Design Travel Trailer? I would like to set-up my tire monitoring to alert me when the temperature of this tire gets too hot! Do you know? Thank you so much

Expert Reply:
Typical tires experience a temperature increase of roughly 50 degrees after running on the highway for half an hour. If it's a 70 degree day, the tire temperature should be about 120 degrees. That being said, tires should not get up to or over 195 degrees. This will affect the life of the tire and could potentially cause a blowout over time. So with that being said, I would set the sensor to 170 degrees at the maximum.
