    Hey guys. I'm attaching a picture of my tires' temperature readings. As you can see there are big differences among them. As the car gets hotter and I drive more, the temperature differences increase.

    Is this normal? Does it happen in your cars also?

    PD: sorry, I don't know how to rotate the picture.

    Have you manually checked your tires pressures and are you making lots of right turns at high speed?

    Maybe your TPM needs calibrating?

    That's a Dr.'s favorite question!

    There will almost always be a significant difference between front and back but there shouldn't be that big a difference between left and right unless you been doing donuts. Your looks fine, you might have a slight alignment issues depending on what you were doing before taking that pic

    Totally normal, I recall the right front ALWAYS hotter than the left.

    Outside air temperature 95F? Wish I was wherever you are, it's freezing in the Northeast US and we have slat all over the roads.

    Cheers,

    Before taking the picture I wasn't driving at high speeds or doing anything crazy with the car.

    I'm not sure about so much difference between the 4 of them.

    The radiator fan that comes on first it the left front and all that heat goes right to the tire thru the wheel well causing it to be hotter. Take the car for a drive and when you get home leave it idling and get out of the car and you will the hot air.

    Right. It's normal the left tyre gets a little bit warmer due to the radiator. Those values look perfectly normal to me...

    As I recall mine also deviated more as I drove. As rlips said, driving the car is a distant memory, today we had 7 F and it is getting colder. Here is a photo from a "warm" day in Michigan:
