Tyre temperature

I'm racing on Yokohama A048s, that have a minimal tread pattern, in 'Medium' compound.
I measure the tread temperature with an infra-red 'gun'. (I know that the ideal is a needle pyrometer, but they are twenty times the price!)
In dry weather and the hot recent weather, I see the tread up to 60C

Talking to someone who has used slicks, they say that the tread should be around 100C.
Are slicks that different from tyres with any tread pattern?
Or is this due to different measurement methods?

Should I try to get my Yokos that hot?
