Max tire pressure
Playing off my other post, if a tire says “max cold pressure 80psi,” what can you safely run that tire at? If you already run this at 80psi cold and other post shows up to 25% increase in psi at high...

It means 80psi cold maximum. Period. Exactly what it says.
Tires warm when driving thus increasing the pressure. This is normal.
Don't worry about this increase in pressure and DON'T ever bleed off a hot tire unless you have a death wish.
Further to this point, be careful if you take your motorhome to one of the 10 minute oil change places. I've caught countless "tire jockeys" at these places doing just that, bleeding air from warm/hot tires, to get them down to the door frame's suggested tire pressures. The first time this happened to me, I noticed the tires looked a little soft the morning after an oil change. I realized the tire guy had bled them down to what he thought was supposed to be the correct pressure. I was about 8 psi low per tire, below what I normally run them at. I now warn them "no tire service, please and thank you". If they ask why, I tell them, and their eyes usually "saucer up" appropriately.
