You're probably right. I try to rush back to my pit, but of course slow speeds in the cold pits, so I probably lose a lot of heat.
Next round out, I'll have someone measure my tires from the hot pit.

My gut feel is to try this out next time out. If I see some different wear, another data point for me to understand.
