To me, the fact that the hub temps are the same eliminates bearing or brake issues, limiting the issue to the tire.

Much to some people's surprise, including my own at first, sun shining on the tire can have a significantly effect the tire temperature, and/or the temperature of the sensor. Are you riding with the higher temp tire in the sun? That could easily explain the differential. Try running with the lower temp tire in the sun first thing, and then take temp readings.
