Don't worry about high pressure alert if the pressure is correct when cold. I'm wondering if that one had higher pressure that the others when cold. 100 lbs is no problem for tires. All too high a pressure causes is wear on the center of the tread but 100 is not high enough for concern.
I disagree with this.
The rule of thumb is that you don't want more than a 10% pressure buildup. Below that value, the internal tire temperatures are within the range that the rubber can sustain over the life of the tire. (Note: Rubber deteriorates over time regardless of temperature, but higher temps accelerate the process. See Arrhenius's rule)
If you see more than a 15% pressure buildup, STOP!! You have to do something to reduce the temperature - usually adding inflation pressure (reducing load) or slowing down.
And didn't anyone tell you to match your duals? (especially the guy who sold you the new tire?) Your TPMS is trying to tell you there is something wrong. Listen to it.
What you need to do now is find a way to match your duals and that might mean purchasing another tire.
