I certainly don't see what you do.
If you say road temps are the same why would the colours not be similar that seems ridiculous and makes the images pretty much useless to compare if that is true.
You say the bottom image is more consistent temps yet it is much lighter on the inside of the tyre. Top image is a little lighter on the outside if anything but I'd say that would change depending on if you went around a left or right hand corner before you took the pic.
The bottom pic also shows the tyre hotter in the middle than the top and bottom making me think the camera is seeing it hotter because it is closer to the lens.
Meaning if your not exactly perpendicular to the tyre when you take the pic results will be inaccurate.
I'm sorry mate but I don't think that camera is going to give you the accurate results you need.
A laser temp gun would be able to give a block by block temps that you would be able to log onto a chart temps vs pressure which would give you the most accurate idea of what is going on.
