Default Tire pressure question

During spirited driving, I noticed my front tires increase in pressure at quicker rate than the rear tires. The fronts almost get to point of equal PSI as the rears. I'm running MPSS. Perhaps it's my driving style...

Perhaps the front tires have "wetter" air than the rears? Replaced at different intervals? Rears have nitrogen fill?

No nitrogen, but the rears are new.

Probably filled with better, dryer, shop air.

The front tires are doing a heck of a lot of work that's why they heat up faster.
