TPM, this correct?

Temperature seems high and Im not entirely sure these are the right PSI.

Were you driving the car? The temp will go up if you were. Otherwise, for pressures, there's one easy way to tell if the readout is accurate. Check it manually.

So yeah then it makes sense why your front tires are that much warmer than the rears. Turning increases friction, friction increases heat.

Pressure too high in the front should be between 32-34 psi when warmed up. You are getting excessive heat from too high pressure which causes the rubber to wear more quickly. I typically get under 105 degrees on the fronts even when driving hard. You rears should be below 40 psi also.

Question. Is your display showing the actual tire pressure numbers because you have the tech package? My non tech package does not show actual numbers

You have to code this feature in the USA. By default you don't see temp or pressure.
