In regards to tire inflation I would run the tires at 35-36 PSI. Also the tire pressure should always be checked cold (ie drying less than 1 mile). Get yourself a high quality tire digital pressure gauge (never rely on the built in ones on the nozzles at the service station) and check pressure monthly.
I wouldn't worry too much as tire manufactures build in a safety margin in terms of temperature ratings. Believe it or not, excessive heat within the tires is caused by too little tire pressure due to the increase in rolling resistance.
