I wouldn't put too much stock into the temperature read out on valve mounted sensors. They are such a long way from the tyre that they don't represent rubber temperature very well at all.

Copied this from another thread How did everybody come out on the scales? I copied this over to keep from stepping on the OP thread.
I have just installed a TST 507 TPMS on my truck and trailer and will be putting them to the test in a few days. Thought that when we are on the road that I would continue to stop and use my Infrared Thermometer to check tire temps and then compare to what the TPMS reads.
Has anyone done any type of actual comparisons to see how accurate the TPMS temps really are? The pressure reading I am receiving are right on.....Same as my tire gauge.
I was also very impressed with the 507 today.......Had the monitor in the house charging and it was reading the tire pressures on the truck parked out in the drive!
