Interesting test. Thanks. But maybe you could sharpen it a little and make a thread? What were the methods and conditions of your test? There are a lot of variables here that you are not describing: starting tire temp, outdoor temp, road temp (hours of sunshine), how many minutes you drove... heck, even the number of times your turned these front wheels and the speed at which you took turns might affect these results a little.
Also, do your results matter for tire wear? Who says the resulting temperatures are a problem? Tirerack claims a 50* F increase after 30 mins driving is normal. These two temperatures might be functionally meaningless if they are well within the design limits of the tire.
I'm not trying to snipe at you. I think you have the start of a really interesting thread more rigorously testing these things.
