If immediately after a spirited street ride they feel uncomfortably hot to the palm of your hand, but still stand-able, the pressure is correct.

Any cooler than that: pressure too high
Any hotter than that: pressure too low

If Urs are race tires, they probably never warm up enough at the street speeds.
