Pyrometer
Thinking of getting a cheap pyrometer from Harbor Freight. What temperature range would cover most any temps I would see? Their cheapest non-contact thermometer goes from Fahrenheit (-27

That should cover you as far as temperature range is concerned, but most measuring tools are usually pretty non-linear at the extremes of their scale.
To get useful data you really should be using a probe type pyrometer.

If you are using it for tire temps, you should use a probe pyrometer.
