Running 111 degrees with G-614 tires outside temp 100 degrees is 111 degrees too hot??

if it's 100 outside, 111 is not to hot.

You're good. TST's default high temperature alarm is around 150, can't remember the exact number. The key with TPM's is consistency between the tires. As long as they are all doing the same thing + or - a few degrees, you are good.

150 is the lowest high temperature setting

One of the tire sites say it's not uncommon for the running tire temp to be 50 degrees higher than outside air.

Also, the sunny side tires will be naturally hotter.

I have noticed that our J rated Continental HTL2 consistently run 10-15 degrees above ambient temp.
