I agree with what your saying Adam, That is exactly what we used to do when I raced Karts, However we never managed to correlate an even tyre temp accross the tread to better tyre performance. I suspect that was due to not having any suspension and hence not having the entire contact patch in contact during cornering.
My point was that in limiting the pressure increase of the gas you can produce a more stable tyre condition that is less likely to go "off".
The principle i am discussing is that the pressure within the tyre will only increase if the gas within the tyre becomes hot, not the rubber. It is possible to have a comparatively hot tyre surface with a much cooler gas and hence limit the pressure change and avoid the more heat = more pressure = more heat problem.
