What is your expert opinion on the matter? I did not expect the fire's hear to increase as it has. The only thing I can think of is a combination of increased hysteresis and the tread being affected by the pulled in sidewall.

First, the stock tire needs a 5" to 6 1/2" wheel and you are using 4" I suspect the tread is overly arching and the over all movement of the tread through the footprint has increased = more RR.
