Default What happens when tires get too hot?

I did a 2.5 hour drive (gps said 3.5 hours) on 36W when it was ~95 degrees outside. The road is famous for a sign that depicts twisty roads for the next 140 miles and is a blast to drive in the Z. I noticed my tires were chirping more than usual and some loss of traction near the end of the drive. Will the tires just go back to their normal characteristics after a grueling drive like this? Is it ok to just spray the tires down with water as they get too hot to keep em in the right temp range?
