Default Tire Pyrometers Which One

I'm looking at pyrometers . Looks like probe is better than infrared for reading tire heat. Need help on where to buy and which one to get,without breaking the bank.
Thanks Tris

A friend is using a Longacre. It prompts you to do the RF, then RR, then LR and LF. And also prompts outside, middle and inside. so there is a built in consistency in using it. It will store up to 10 different reading so you can make easy comparisons. Easy to use. the probe is delicate so make sure you stick it in straight and remove straight.

I have the Intercomp, Longacre is good too. Infared is not for tires, if you are serious about it.

Why don't you get this Joes Racing one, you can have an Infared and it also comes with a probe.
