It's also worth noting that depending on the brand, an IR pyrometer measures a fairly large circle for heat. Not knocking 7th gear's methods at all here, he's shared a ton of valuable data for us all, but a probe pyrometer is usually better. (I just acquired one, if I get anything useful out of it I will share.)

See point number 1 here: http://www.thermoworks.com/blog/2012...d-thermometry/

Points 2 and 3 are irrelevant if you're always measuring the same tire compound and are only trying to ensure that temperatures are even across the tire.
