I noticed the sidewalls of the front tires seem to be much hotter than the thread.
Is your tire pressure off?
The lower the pressure, the more the sidewalls will flex and the more the friction while flexing will heat them.
The thread will flex less too under higher pressure but the difference on that will not be as big as on the sidewalls.

So, what PSI are they?

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
