Default Tire noise when it's hot.

Okay guys, anyone of you with 18" or bigger wheels/tires notice when it get hot outside that there is more noise coming from your tires. It's been in the 90's out here in Cali which means the ground must be 100+ deg. It seems to me that I've been hearing more noise this weekend from my tires. Anyone else have this problem or have an answer to this. I have 245/35/19's Falken Tires.

Not sure if it is just related to big tires. As the heat goes up the asphalt warms up and gets stickier. Generally, all tires will be noisier and stickier. Might be the big skins make proportionately that much more noise but all of them do it.
