So wondering why the tire temps are heavy to the driver side.

Not being a nut job just curious others experience.

Not normal, rotate wheels side to side to eliminate the possibility of a bad sensor.

Do you turn to the right a lot or highway speeds bank right alot? If so normal.

Same here. It's been like this since day 1.

Interesting I'll try that out. Shouldn't be a bad sensor I mean stranger things happen. Lol

Something near that tire ( under hood) that is hot enough to throw off the sensor?

This is the same on my car since day 1 and between two different set of wheels/sensors

[SlowX6M]

On my car all tires are usually 1-2º C, and its been like this on all BMWs I ever had. A difference of 9º F is too much, either the sensor is not accurate or the tire is out of alignment.

I've noticed that often after I park the car and get out, I can feel a lot more heat coming from under the car on the drivers side. I bet that is heating up the tires on the left side.
My car also reads higher on the left side.

Mine is the same way, driver front tire is always 5-10 degrees warmer than the others.

Driver weight?

Pay attention to the location of the sun relative to the car during your commute. If the sun is predominantly on one side it can increase the tire temps by several degrees relative to the side not receiving the sun's rays.

Sorry but that is normal in many cases. Too many vehicles I have had say otherwise. Car sitting in the sun the side of the car that the sun is shining on will absorb more heat so guess what black tires do. The same if you are on the highway and the sun is on one side of the car for a period of time.

This one is really a head scratcher but happens to me frequently. Many time going to the ranch in far SE NM south of Carlsbad I will fight 20 to 40 and greater cross winds for hundreds of miles. Funny thing is that the slight turning into/fighting the wind will cause the temps to go up on one side. Conversely and this made me scratch my head at first my tires on the north side of the truck were 2psi lower (70 psi vs 72) than the south side of the truck. Then it dawned on me south side sun exposure with north wind blowing 25 and temps 15 degrees. Coming home the next day almost the same but 1 psi different just on the other side.

I have been paying closer attention, and yes, it seems my car does the same thing. I have the temps set to C, and I see 3-4º C difference after extensive drives. No idea what is causing this.

Probably Bc there's an extra weight on that corner. Aka you.
