  Hand held thermometers

Frank I don't worry so much about tire temps. But if you have a strange noise maybe tire tread or soft that would help, maybe a bearing. Where I see the big value is seeing temps on brake rotors is one working harder or dragging. It will also give you a good idea if wheel bearings on the Trailblazer are going bad or is that a tire noise. Don't ask me how I know!

The other places that are handy are head tems on air cooled engines. How much hotter is the read cylinder vs the front...

Frank on my 04 it was around 80k I drive about 35K a year. My wifes 04 now has about 35k on it they, I think, are starting to hum. I've got to check them on a longer drive other then her short brake burning trips to town.

I know the sound and am confident hers are making noise. The bearings which are assembled in a hub are around $300 each. If I remember right.

I never did a baseline of the good bearings but you have to go in from the back to get the hub. Check L & R to compare. I suspect you will hear they long b4 u check 4 heat. But the heat will help isolate the problem area.
