Default Would Bald Tires cause Overheating???

Okay Ive been running my Hyper on the street alot lately with my stock tires. I want to only use my crimefighters for the track and keep the stock baldies for the road. Well my stocks are now bald and I noticed once they got this way my engine started overheating..well no really overheating but just running higher temps? Does this sounds like thats possibly due to the now transformed into "slicks" stock tires?

More than likely the heat is just coming from longer than normal WOT times while running on the street.
