I've found tire temps to be a bit confusing sometimes, Larry maybe you have some advice/guidance here. In the case of using a memory pyrometer that takes 3 readings per tire -- assuming that you pit in and have a friend check these right after a hot lap, they may be as accurate as you can measure, but don't seem to tell the full story. Each turn or straight section are going to generate different heat gradients across the tire.
Also, since braking is where we see the highest g-force, wouldn't that be the time that we generate more heat than in other case? And if that is true, wouldn't the inside heat up faster because of the negative camber?
