It depends on what type of road it is, and the driving style. On a twisty country road, the tires will heat up a lot more than on a straight road. A brisk driving style with lots of acceleration and braking also contributes.
New tires with maximum tread depth generate more heat than worn tires. If it is raining, the tires will generally stay rather cool.
