Squirrrel Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 To whoever it may concern, I would want to inquire if anybody has encountered a disparity in temperature between the rear wheels or tyres. There is usually a minimum temperature differential of 4 degrees Celsius between the left and right wheel. Due to the vehicle being new, I have simply engaged in simple driving and have not engaged in any enthusiastic or aggressive driving.However Has anybody had a similar situation or is there a specific problem? Thank you in advance for providing all the answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleverPixel Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Ensure that you get your wheel alignment inspected. The left rear likely need adjustment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angurita Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Do the tyres share the same brand and have a similar age? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PopeyeR Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Even with fresh tyres and an alignment, the temperature of my driver's side rear tyre consistently runs slightly higher. Occurred in both of my R8 vehicles. Based on my assumption, the driver's side of the vehicle is likely to be heavier when there is just one person in the car and the engine is located in the back. This is because there is greater weight on that particular wheel. 🧐 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartan Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 The same situation applies to my case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notef Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Allow me to present my hypothesis. Divide the weight of an automobile, which is around 3600 pounds, by 2 to get 1800 pounds on each side, representing the left and right weight distribution. If a driver weighing 200 pounds was seated in the automobile, the weight on the left side would be roughly 2000 pounds, while the weight on the right side would be 1800 pounds. Although I am unsure of the specific impact of the driver on the F/R weight distribution, there remains an 11% disparity in weight between one side of the vehicle and the other. The disparity will marginally enlarge the contact area of the tyre, resulting in an elevation of the tire's pressure and an expansion of the surface area affected by friction, therefore generating heat. At higher temperatures, the tyre temperatures almost reach an equilibrium, but at lower temperatures, one side of the tyre warms up quicker than the other. Is there anybody available to critically analyse and identify flaws in this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindumer Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 I can offer you the opportunity to have my former girlfriend accompany you in the passenger seat, since she weighed around 240 pounds. We can do the mathematical calculations on it. Another potential approach might include converting from Celsius to Fahrenheit. The metric system is illogical.

Squirrrel Posted June 10 Author Share Posted June 10 Thank you much for providing all of your responses. While I concur with the weight distribution, it is important to note that there were always two individuals present in the vehicle. However, it is also accurate to say that the engine is not positioned in the centre; rather, it is somewhat shifted towards the left side. Perhaps it is the cause? Indeed, all the tyres are identical. The automobile is very new and I have noticed this from its first production. I use the metric system due to my residence in Europe.

Mindumer Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 What is the reason for your wakefulness? I am only jesting about the lack of logical coherence in the metric system. I must awaken in 8 hours, since it is the minimal amount of sleep I need. I have come to understand that obtaining sufficient sleep is crucial for achieving optimal performance. I am really endeavouring to address the matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
