More interesting information. Since we are grounded for the summer I have got way to much time on my hands. Installed my new TST tire monitor system. It measures tire temps, my replaced system did not..The Montana is sitting in the driveway one side in the direct sun the other in shade. Tire PSI set at 110 PSI. Tires in the direct sun 114/115 PSI tire temp 84/85 Degrees.
Tires in the shade PSI 109/110 Tires temp 80/81. The Wheels are not turning and have not been turning. That is just the sun on the tires. Think about the temps on the gel coat on the sun side and why we have problems cooling. After taking all these reading with my trusty IR thermometer I better understand the cooling issues and have the data to back it up.
