Tire Temp Too High?
I installed a TST TPMS system for my Ex and TT. All tires are within a pound or two of each other except the Ex right rear which is 7 to 8 pounds higher than the left rear.
I swapped out the bearings/races in the rear axle a couple months ago. Yesterday, I jacked it up, put my hands at 3 and 9 o’clock and tried wiggling it back and forth. I didn’t feel any play.
When I installed the axle parts, I made sure I went by the directions and made sure I didn’t drink any beer.
Any thoughts?

You may have a bad tire, belts slip sometimes. Try moving it to the other side and if the problem follows you found the issue. The china bomb trailer tires are very bad about this as well.

my right rear tire also shows higher temp, and usually slightly higher pressure after a long drive, but i have chalked it up to that tire being quite close to the exhaust pipe, My TPMS is setup with sensors inside the tires rather than the screw on caps, and it gives me temperature and pressure readings, and that tire is always the hottest.

I just put a TST TPMS on my Ex and trailer before our recently completed 5400 mile trip. The right rear seemed to be consistently a few degrees hotter than the left, but the biggest factor by far appeared to be which side the sun was shining on - especially in 108 degree South Dakota.
