Question:

I have a set of Castle Rock ST 226 225/75R15 tires on our Wolf Pup trailer. I am setting up TPMS for the trailer tires. My question is what is the temperature range for them, so that I can set the limits for the TPMS? Thank you in advance.

I checked with Castle Rock and the Castle Rock ST 226 225/75R15 item # 274-000029 you have should be 50 degrees warmer than the air temperature after being on the highway for 30 minutes.

Tire experts generally consider 195 degrees as the maximum tire temperature, as past that the temperature will start impacting tire life. Past 250 degrees will the tire will start losing strength, and will wear even quicker.
