I picked up a nail in my passenger rear tire a few weeks back (it never went completely flat but was at 16 PSI on a 30 mile drive home). Dealer plugged it, and it's holding pressure as expected after 2 weeks of driving. I've been monitoring the tires on longer trips just to make sure, and noticed after a 70 mile drive yesterday that the temperature of that tire was 10 degrees warmer then my other ones.

I replaced my rears last August, so they are basically new (probably less than 2000 miles on them). It just seemed strange that the temp was that much higher, and I didn't notice the issue on my drive there yesterday. Maybe this is normal since it now has a plug, but just wondering?

No real reason I can think of for a right rear tire to be 10 degrees warmer. Are pressures set correctly? Maybe damaged TPMS sensor?
