you should ussually see tranny temps about 70 degrees above outside ar temps, with the truck unloaded & not towing. Towing is a different story.......
Around town driving the temps can show a bit higher since the TC is unlocked under 35 mph and generates alot of heat.

You COULD really benefit from a larger cooler, though. With my 6.0 cooler in 80-90* heat i run about 30-40* cooler. Every 10* cooler the transmission average's temperature is, theres a certain amount of miles its expected to last longer.

Tire size
I am running 265/75/16 BFG's All Terrains. I did not have any gauges untill the same day I put the DP Tuner on so I had no referance as to what was normal temps on my truck.
