Bigger tires effecting temperature?

[Jackal19]

I went from 31” to 33” tires last June and in Sept I started to overheat a bit but since replacing the thermostat it hasn’t been overheating. Now that it’s a bit warmer it starts to move the gauge to like 215 when normal is just below 210. Is this something I should be concerned about? I also have a cold air intake so could the tires being bigger and causing more heat cause the temps to go up a bit? Thanks in advance!

Update the cooler bypass valve.  There's a few different ways to do it.  You can either buy the updated part form GM, there's a kit you can buy online, or you can flip the pill in the valve.  Just youtube it, there's plenty of videos out there.  I bought the updated valve from GM, I have 35" tires and my transmission temps hover around 160-180.

Affecting "what" temperature?  Coolant?  Transmission?
