The display also isn't using just the tire temp from the sensors, but several other factors too, to show the overall state they are in. Per the manual, "hot" indicates ideal range for best track performance, not that the tire is dangerously overheated, etc.
Yea the pirelli's r the same way when freezing. All performance tires r..
Yeah. I know it reads tire pressure sensor temp with sone othe things to guess tire temp..
Yeah figure hot means tire nice hot & sticky since track vid showed hot..
Im check later when in 30s.. my laser thermometer tells temp of surfaces so I'll use that on tire again...

anyone find out yet what tire temp they turn hot??
