I've been told that wind chill has no (or extremely low) effect on inanimate objects. Would a spinning rim be considered wind chill? Could the sensor be insulated to only test the air inside the tire?

Edited: Wind will dissipate the heat quicker, but the temperature will not be below the ambient air temperature of an inanimate object. So, if the ambient temperature surrounding the sensor (inside the device) is 100 degrees, that is the reading that will be sent to the receiver. That's my take on it. But I'm not all that smart so maybe some engineer can shed some more "heat" on the subject.
