If you are heated up and below "MAX" pressure you have a tire problem.
Well that first sentence depends on your definition of "wildly" I guess. Under similar conditions, the pressure should be similar.
And I don't think I agree with that second sentence at all.....but not sure what you are trying to say.

I carry a small CO2 tank with regulator and hose takes less room than a compressor that takes forever to get to the higher PSI's and I am able to get the 110 psi with no problem, only use it on the road if I need to adjust tire pressure .

I've had a Power Tank for several years. Very happy with it.
I have the 15# model. In retrospect the 10# would have been more than adequate.

True but if they are HOT and below your target COLD pressure, you know that they need some air. And pumping them up to your cold target is better than leaving them even lower. Going +5 would be even better.
If you have checked them hot a few times before, then you should know what is "normal" for those conditions.

Thinking about upgrading from 80 PSI E-rated tires to 110 PSI G-rated tires.
I assume 110 PSI air is available at most Love, Pilot-type truck stops?
Anybody use a portable air compressor? If so, what make/model?

Since most big rig tires run at 110-120 PSI any truck stop should be good. Never seen one that didn't have adequate air.
I have the Sailuns and have not added air since I mounted them over a year ago. Good tire IMHO.

Just because the "tougher" tires you are buying allow for pressures up to 110 lbs does NOT mean that you should put that much in them.
In fact, you probably should NOT DO THAT and use close to the original recommended pressures if the load has not changed.
I personally think that getting good name brand tires is more important that putting on ones that are WAY over-rated for your application.
