He's so confused

On my way up to Montana I saw a guy at a rest stop checking the air pressure in his 5th wheel trailer tires. Talking to him I learned he had a previous blowout and had replaced all tires with G rated tires. He told me the tires are stamped for max pressure of 110 PSI and he was letting air out of his hot tires so they don't go over 110 PSI. He told me his tires would blow if the pressure got over 110 PSI. He was not open to anything I had to say. Politely I walked away while holding my tongue.

So adjusting a tire hot or cold to say run 110 psi when hot is a bad thing ? Sure you put in 110 psi cold they can run nearly 120 when hot. I know they are designed to do that. I don't know where he got the idea about the tires blowing when getting hot, but if he doesn't need 110 psi to begin with, then what does it matter what he does , unless he runs them too low for the weight on them. There is a reason for weight charts.

I don't want to run my G rated tires at 110 psi, don't need to , usually 95-100. Pretty sure they get pretty close to 110 when hot.
