I wouldn't retract the gear either. If the temps were right up - as you would expect them to be - getting the Dunlops out of the air flow at that stage is asking for a well fire. Not to mention that they maybe distorted or hanging rubber, which might jam the gear up. Far too many possible bad scenarios to risk retraction. A bad call in my mind.
As for tyre pressure, the 767 does indicate this on the status page (bottom EICAS).
THE 757 ONLY TEMP....
