Default Curious about pressures

I'm curious if anyone knows...

We always adjust tire air pressure with cold tires, but since air expands when heated, doesn't this result in varying pressures after the tire warms a little when riding, or does the internal air temperature not really change that much?

I wouldn't dare attempt to answer that question, again.
I suggest going to Dunlop, Metzler, Avon, Bridgestone, etc. sites and reading what the manufactures say about it

But yes and no.

The recommended air pressure is always for cold air (not ridden recently), and it is based off of your concept.
