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.

Assuming a tire was being dragged would generate heat but at the tire tread surface. Rubber is a good insulator so the heat at the tread surface would not be transferred quickly enough to be of value.
As shown in my posts external sensors are cooled by external air and internal sensors, mounted in the well of the wheel are actually reporting the temperature of the wheel.
