Since I was trying to be nice and add something, and you
were obviously doing the opposite...
Boyles law only works in absolutes. If you use C for the
temp then you must add 273 to your temp on each side, but
only 14.7 for pressure and nothing for volume. You do the
math and see if temp will do anything to the pressure of a
tire in a temperature range that would not first weaken the
tire.
As for friction, you simply do not understand real world
friction applications if you do not think that friction
occurs unless the tire is skiding. Max heating of a tire
occurs at the speed just before the tire stops rotating.
The moment a tire skids friction drops significantly.
Anti-lock brakes?

PS, Why am I, and bunch of others, double posting
everything to the group tonight?
