This heat transfers from the rotors to the hubs to the wheels to the air inside the tire. All in all it is normal and expected that front tires get hotter than rears.

yeah, that makes sense
I noticed that on the track where after each session the high temperature alarm goes off for the fronts because of the hot brakes
