black_bi-turbo - how old were those tires, I've had old tires do that after they had dried out.

Lil Bastard - Much of the heat build-up in a tire comes from repetitive flexing of the sidewall, overinflation actually decreases sidewall flex and lowers tire temp rise. As you noted, it's still not good for the tire though.
