Hard to say. The tireminder temp alarms can be set to whatever you want, but generally I would say the temperature changes I would be looking for would be the result of a stuck brake rather than the subtle drag caused by my failing tire carcass. (Additionally the Tireminder accuracy is +-3F or so, (I think) so it's not really scientific quality instrumentation.) The actual temps I was seeing were about 93-95 F on three of the tires and 103F on the bad one after 80 miles of 65mph towing in 90F ambient. It was pretty subtle.
The way I look at it now, the temps I saw by themselves would not worry me tomorrow. However, add to that a newly noticed vibration, and I'm at least pulling over and thumping the tires to see if anything sounds funny.
