     True for bias ply tires but not for radials.

Sorry.......

Mebbe not YOUR radials but I have seveal sets that require 
pressure adjustment (i.e. raising/lowering psi) in order 
to build/maintain optimum operating temps. Put the same 
pressure in at 50f ambient that you run at 80f ambient and 
you'll find yourself dumped on your butt the first quick 
corner you come to when they slide out from under you (and 
the bike).
Put the same pressure in at 80f ambient you run at 50f and 
you'll get the same result when they overheat and turn 
greasy.
