understanding Forza tire temperatures #64

Hello, I am totally blind, and play Forza using the new blind driver assists. I found your app, since Forza doesn't currently read car telemetry. I'm building a small c# app in order to read some telemetry through a screen reader, and I plan to use your Forza Core module. I will definitely give credit to this repo. My question is around tire temperatures. What temp unit are the tire temps measured in? In a new race, the tire temps were reading around 165, and I hadn't moved anywhere yet. This seems high to me. I see from the code that you are taking ranges of values to indicate heat levels. Do these numbers represent actual temperatures or just a range? I've looked around but can't find anything.

Hi @jfayre, I've just happened to stumble on this issue while looking at the telemetry data myself, and the temperature values are in Fahrenheit. I was confused as well, as all other values are metric, but then figured it out by comparing against the in-game telemetry display.
