G614 TPMS Max Temp Setting
I searched the forum and web, couldn't find an answer. Anyone have the specs from Goodyear on what the max safe operating temperature is in the G614's. I want to set my TPMS high temp alarm and not sure where it should be. I called Goodyear and the results were disappointing. Answers were we dont sell trailer tires, we dont have those tires, never heard of G614's, call our commercial division which is for fleet service etc. I have emailed them and we will see if I get a response.

I had the same Goodyear tires on my 310GK and set the temps for 140 and had them go off in Texas in the summertime. I finally settled on 160 and that seems to work. I monitor for the difference in tire temps more than a max temperature thinking that if a tire was going to fail it would have a higher temp the rest of the tires. I never had a blow out so I guess I was successful.

If you have a TPMS that relies on transducers screwed onto the valve stems I'm not sure how you would set the high temp alarm as the tread temps runs much hotter than the air temp at the tip of the valve stem. I've seen the tread at more than 50 degrees higher than my TPMS indicates. The type of transducer that attaches the wheel is probably more accurate.

The paper work that came w/ my TST 507 is factory set @ 158 F, and they recommend leaving it there. So far in our travels I haven't seen it anywhere near that (97F max to date)

They did finally respond. Their answer was keep the tires at 110 psi and do not exceed 70MPH. They do not publish temperature ratings and said most trailer tires do not have temperature ratings published.
