idk wtf you were reading, but that sounds ***-backwards. Your tires will melt, that's just going to happen when you put extreme loads into the compound. you also run the risk of a blowout with higher pressures, not to mention poor handling characteristics.
I agree with the other statements to run lower pressure cold when starting, and check the hot pressure and adjust accordingly.
