It makes sense to me if you think about it. Think about the amount of friction between the road and your tires/brakes. It should get hot shouldnt it? Good ole physics.

My tires are warm sometimes but usually isnt too bad unless the pavement is hot from the sun or your driving for a long period of time.

I would check for sticking rear calipers, or e-brake cables. Do both rear rims get hot or is it just one side? Also check the caliper slide pins and make sure they slide freely.
