Tyre/Wheel temperature difference
Hi all,
Hope you are well.
My car is a 2020 M340i x-drive.
Recently, I noticed a very strange finding. I have done nearly 10 long trips, involving long-time motorway drives at 70MPH. So after I have driven long enough on the motorway, the rear right wheel's temperature will rise much higher than the other wheels while the pressure is in line with the other 3 wheels. So far the strange finding happens every time. The same effect also affects the right rear wheel temperature in urban drive but at a lower extent. Below is the illustration:
Before start:
Front wheel: Pressure 2.7; temperature 27
Rear wheel: Pressure 2.7; temperature 27
After motorway drive:
Front-wheel: Pressure 2.8/2.9; temperature 30
Left rear wheel: Pressure 2.8/2.9; temperature 30
Right rear wheel: Pressure 2.8/2.9; temperature 35
I have done wheel alignment and no strange findings. Any idea what is causing it? Other than the temperature difference, the car drives very well.
Many thanks in advance.
