That 92 was fairly constant but just one one tire - occasionally would drop to 91 for a while. Rest of the tires ran 89-90. No braking, running at speed on the road. I tow at 65.
I did not get that scientific on the cold pressure. That one 92 degree tire could have been 1-2 lbs higher when cold. I have not been using a digital pressure gauge for cold airing up.
OK, so it does sound like the tires need to be adjusted in some way.
As a start, I'd recommend you get scientific - and I's also recommend using 90 psi and see how much build up you get.
But I think the real answer is using a larger tire size.
