I'd like to take a poll on hub temperatures from those of you who check these things.
I just returned from the Dixielanders/Sunshine Statesmen Rally in Crossville, TN. Here are the particulars:
70 degrees ambient temp, sunny day, 67 miles, primarily interstate, at 55 to 65 MPH. Driving east into the sun, so wheels were not exposed to direct sunlight. Minimal braking last several miles.
Checking temperatures on my Eagle aluminum wheels, just above the lug nuts, from a distance of about 6 inches.
Driver front: 90 degrees
Pass. front: 95 degrees (new Lenzi hub and knuckle assy.)
Driver mid: 85 degrees
Driver rear: 80 degrees
Pass mid: 86 degrees
Pass rear:88 degrees
How does this compare with everyone else's data?
