True, although I suspect it's extremely unlikely you'll generate a +10psi change, even on twisty public roads, unless there is also an accompanying increase in ambient temps during the drive.
As to tyres. I thought the opposite: new tyres generate less heat, relative to worn tyres due to differences in the contact area. It would be marginal, at best. Under inflated tyres also generate more heat.
