Thermal expansion/thermal equilibrium has always been accounted for in the tire engineering processes. Therefore, the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended cold inflation pressures are the correct inflation pressures for your vehicle, unless the vehicle manufacturer has seen a need for exceptions. Any exceptions will be described in the vehicle owner’s manual.
Are all of your tires increasing more than 15-20% above recommended cold inflation pressures? There are two thoughts that come to my way of thinking. The tires may be entering into a form of fatigue/tread separation. Or, they are overloaded. Some troubleshooting into what loads they are carrying may answer the overheating condition. Side note, make sure your inflation gauge is accurate.
