Yes, and it's critical that you take the temps IMMEDIATELY after you come off course. I'm of the opinion that Sebring isn't great for this because you run all the major turns, then you go down a half-mile long straight where the tire temps will tend to equalize, then you go around a hard right-hander before you pit in. So, your temps will be greatly biased to that final turn when you come in.
You'll get more usable tire temps if you can find a place to run skidpad circles. A few hard laps in each direction will net you some useful information.
Generally, discrepancies in the center tread temp can be corrected with tire pressure. (too hot in the center = too much pressure) Excessive heat on the inside or outside of the tread usually point to a camber problem. (too hot on the outside = not enough negative camber)

That car doesn't need a lot of static camber because it's got a badass double wishbone suspension with a jammin' camber curve. It makes its own camber as it leans into a turn.
