I did a direct comparison test of Internal Temperature vs External Temperature TPMS reading with results published in my Blog

I have not seen or heard on anyone else doing this detailed of a comparison. Sorry but this forum does not allow me to post "hot links" to my blog so you will need to use Google.

I haven't looked at your blog but have a to question the lack of value you place on temperature. While it is true that temps will vary from side to side however; they should not vary by any great amount between from and rear axle.
As blubuckaroo pointed out, a dragging tire, whether from a bent spindle, bent axle, seized bearing, or locked up brake assembly will build heat rapidly.
