Why would you add tire pressure if you're going for a hard drive? Air expands as it gets hotter so if you start with a lower pressure it'll naturally increase as your session goes on ending up in tbe right place. Start with your pressures too high and as the tires get hotter and start over inflating you end up with tires that'll slide a bit more, hence what the OP was experiencing.
