What are some good pyrometer units out there?

are the laser units worth to pick up or are they inacurate and better off to pick up a corded unit ?

Longacre AccuTech Digital LASER Pyrometer (any good?)

to read TIRE temps, you need a probe type meter. The surface temp of the tires goes down too fast to be useful.

To check brake rotor temps, or other stuff where a surface temp is sufficient, then a laser pyro is good.
