The problem is you are supposed to air tires when cold.
True but if they are HOT and below your target COLD pressure, you know that they need some air. And pumping them up to your cold target is better than leaving them even lower. Going +5 would be even better.
If you have checked them hot a few times before, then you should know what is "normal" for those conditions.
IMHO still not a good idea as the HOT temps vary wildly. If you are heated up and below "MAX" pressure you have a tire problem.
A lot of campgrounds have air available. Best to carry a way to pressurize your own tires.
I have never checked my pressures hot until looking at my built in monitoring system on my truck.
