30 psi pressure rise seems excessive. Has anyone put some type of "goop" in the tires attempting to fix a flat or balance them out? What does the air inside the tire smell like when you bleed the tires with excess pressure?

No "goop" in the tires. I never bleed air as that would only exacerbate the problem.
Started my last trip with the brand new Michelins at 85psi. On I5 crossing the CA desert at 105* the pressure increased to 115psi. Stopped at a truck stop and added 10psi to each tire (gauged each tire and added 10psi since pressures were dropping as the tires cooled off as I worked my way around the rig). Continued the drive and pressures settled around 110psi. The next morning pressures were 95+/-psi at 75*.
