And that's perfectly normal.

Max. rated pressures on tyres are "cold" measurements, and they already take into account that the tyre will be heated up due to driving at its design speed - the kind of speed where few ecomodders and few car owners will ever go.

Guess what, at low pressure, the tyre will heat up significantly more.
