I run Es on my truck and trailers. Summer is different than winter. I don't fill to 80 because I know they will heat up.
You dont wanna do that.. They will get hotter with the lower temps. You want to minimize the sidewall flexing (which is the major cause of heat) as much as possible while still having a good contact patch. If you lower the pressure thinking they 'will heat up anyways', you are increasing the sidewall flex and thus heating them up even more than if you had aired them up. Tires can take over pressure and the OEMs make allowances for it. They cannot take excessive heat.
