The greater the "cold" inflation, the less the temperature rise with use.

Ac has nothing to do with tire temps or rise.
Pressure build due to temp rise from use is already taken into account when calculating proper and maximum tire pressures.

Ah, that makes more sense. I know the listed PSI on the door is 36psi, which is what I run at cold, hence my running PSI is usually close to 38-40psi, so I didn't want to inflate to 40psi cold and have it at 43psi running (i.e. no real reason to do so).
I also agree, A/C has nothing to do with tire temps. My point was to link to load on the motor.
