Tyre Temps Explained: Using real-Time Data for Smarter Setup Decisions

Tyres are one of the biggest factors in performance, and one of the easiest places to lose time if you’re working off guesswork. Whether you’re a club racer, track day regular, or running a race team, understanding what your tyres are doing in the moment can help you make smarter decisions on pressures, setup and driving technique.

 

The VBOX Tyre Temperature Monitoring System is designed to measure, log and display tyre surface temperature in real time. Unlike a handheld pyrometer, where the heat can dissipate before you’ve captured a complete set of readings, infrared sensors measure temperature across the width of each tyre, giving you a clearer picture of what’s happening on track, lap by lap.

 

If you’re chasing consistency, this is the kind of data that helps turn “feel” into a repeatable setup, and keeps you progressing, session after session.
