more heat = more air expanding. this is why you are supposed to drop air out of tire before a long trip. run them at the max then make a long trip and take the pressure it will be higher alot higher 10PSI or more.

ive ran all my mud tires low PSI like this for years, never have had a problem.

if 30 PSI causes tread separation then you have a bigger problem. 40 PSI is ok but MUD graps have a tendency to crown anyway so id run them and avoid that.

i cant remeber the last tire that i ran more than 30 PSI in probably my BFG TA KO's
