Left-Front tire temps

UltraMagneticAL · 07-07-2017, 06:06 PM

anyone else notice the left front tire temp getting hotter faster than the rest of the tires? i noticed there's up to a 10*C difference between that tire and the rest after normal driving.

My front left normally runs 1 degree hotter

We're having a heatwave here in SoCal and i just noticed this temp difference recently. Isn't the A/C heat exchanger in that area? i wonder if its related to this.

No doubt

Normal. It's due to one of the additional heat exchangers there. I notice the heat when running in sport / sport+ even more due to the increase thermal dissapation from the cooling system.

That would explain it. Had noticed last week that they all where within a degree or two except the driver front which was about 10 degrees higher.

I thought it's because that corner is heavier due to driver being there so more weight creates more heat. If you have a passenger too then both should read about the same.
