And a rule of thumb to tell if you might be in trouble with the inflation pressure you've chosen:
You do NOT want any more than a 10% pressure build up. So if you start with 80 psi, the maximum you should want to see is 88 psi - lower is better.
If you see between 10% and 15%, you should be concerned and take some steps to get the value below 10%.
But if you see 15%, you need to take immediate action. not tomorrow. NOW!
The typical remedy is adding pressure. A recommendation is to add the amount of the build up (on top of what is already there) - keeping in mind where you start so you don't exceed the tire's max.
Another way to deal with the problem is to slow down.
