Do tire shops usually calibrate their gauges? I'm not sure where i can find someone who has a calibrated gauge, what do you guys usually compare to?

I have mine set to 33/34 front and 37/38 rear. They seems to get up to 41-43 rear hot...Is that bad?

So which temps are you using the first one listed or the second ? IE... 37 or 38 ? As for the hot temp that's consistant with my rear tires set at 38 cold in mid 80's Ambient temps.

Remember that TPMS compensates the readings for temperature in deciding if its too low or too high.
