no not at all. if it was super over inflated then u will see uneven wear in the tire, plus run the risk of blowing out.

Actually, overpressure tends to not blow a tire - it runs cooler...

Underpressure heats them up more, weakening the tire, eventually causing a failure.

At least, that's the motorcycle knowledge speaking.

My bike recommends 35psi. I run 40. Tires wear longer...in my case.
