    Hi, all

    I have noticed an interesting fact of my car (2008 599 GTB) that the passenger-side tires showing a much higher temperature than the driver side. This was seen after a quick run in the mountains (not just doing right turns) .

    Has anyone encountered similar situations? Is this an actual problem?

    If this is an issue, could this be TPMS sensor mis reporting the actual temp? Or could this be related to the the wheels alignment?

    Any advice helps. Thanks ahead.

    Maybe the passenger side faced the Sun. Drive in the opposite direction and see if it reverses.[emoji4]

    I am going to re-run the same route from the opposite side this weekend and find out:)

    Once warmed up, all my TPMS sensors run within a few degrees of each other on my 599.

    The temperature sensors are usually a thermistor that is very linear in the temperature region it is expected to report in, therefore, I have to ask if when you first get the car to register the temps are they all within the same temperature? If so, then it is a high probability it is not the sensor.
