    Hot!

    Should the rims on my tandem trailer be hot after a 35 min drive? Only reason I'm concerned is I had brake caliper lock up on my last boatmate, and it was a nightmare.

    Are the rims black? What was the temp outside? Was the tire pressure low?
    I do all my own stunt work. hey ya'll watch dis.

        I drove my 2012 RZR today with my boatmate today and both rims were pretty warm after a 50 mile drive. Im currently dealing with an offpeddle issue with my right caliper with hanging up a little bit when off the brakes.

          They will be warm to touch, warmer than the ambient temperature. I have temperature monitor gauges in my tires and they generally run about 20 degrees warmer than the outside temp.
          Be excellent to one another.

            Were both front and back rims hot? Brakes are usually on rear rims only,unless you have dual axle brakes.

              I ran 140F on front and 125F on rears doing 70mph (12 hr drive).

              The reason the front were running warming than rear was do to the angle (or level) of the trailer.

              I need to raise the trailer at the hitch 2 more inches.

                Yes, both axles look to have brakes.
